I Told You I Was Ill

John O'Connell

Do you worry that spots are cancerous? That headaches are caused by tapeworm larvae burrowing into your brain? If so you're almost certainly a hypochondriac. This hilarious book shows that hypochondria is the only sane response to modern life - an illness in itself and part of a noble tradition of neurosis stretching back thousands of years.>
