Publisher's Summary
Despite the rapid advances in medical science, the majority of people who visit a doctor have medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), symptoms that remain a mystery despite extensive diagnostic studies. The most common MUS are back pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and dizziness. This audiobook addresses the obstacles of managing people with MUS in our modern-day society from both a historical and contemporary perspective.
Most MUS are psychosomatic in origin, caused by a complex interaction between nature and nurture, between biological and psychosocial factors. Psychosomatic symptoms are as real and as severe as the symptoms associated with structural damage to the brain. Unique and concise, the audiobook explores the biological and psychosocial mechanisms, the clinical features, and current and future treatments of common MUS.
Exploring the unsolved in an accessible manner, Medically Unexplained Symptoms invokes the methodologies of medical science, history, and sociology to investigate how brain flaws can lead to debilitating symptoms.

Ridiculous and basic garbage
If this author is an actual doctor, he's everything that's wrong with the western medical model. He needs to learn how to research and quote quality studies using critical thinking; instead of quoting patient anectodes published in newspapers. Patients doctor shop because of all the doctors handballing to one another, throwing anyone with complex symptoms into the "too hard basket". I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia & CFS for years, only to later find out I actually have a genetic collagen disorder that explains my lifelong symptoms; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) & I've unfortunately passed it on to my daughter. No "male doctor with grey hair" could have put my mind at ease with another ridiculous "you'll be okay" dismissive attitude.
