Kurzbiographie
Clifton K. Meador was born in Alabama in 1931 and attended Vanderbilt School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. After graduating with top honors, he moved to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York for his internship and first year of residency. Two years in the Army medical corps followed before his residency and a fellowship in endocrinology were completed at Vanderbilt.

Meador’s varied medical career includes practicing with the physician who delivered him into this world, directing the N.I.H. Clinical Research Center in Alabama, serving as dean at the School of Medicine at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, returning to Vanderbilt to create the teaching service at Saint Thomas Hospital, and teaching as a professor of medicine at Vanderbilt and Meharry Medical College. For the past ten years, he has been the executive director of the Meharry Vanderbilt Alliance. It is no surprise that his expertise in the medical field gives him a best-selling-author status with many popular books.

He is author of 10 books, including Symptoms of Unknown Origin and the best-selling medical book, A Little Book of Doctors’ Rules, now being published by Cable Publishing in a new edition.

Hobbies include woodworking and furniture making, golf (a goal is to shoot his age), and his favorite hobby—writing. Meador is the proud father of seven children.

Cllfton Meador is a retired physician and professor of medicine emeritus at Vanderbilt Medical School. He is author of 13 books. His "Med School" is a year by year humorous and serious account of medical school in the 1950s. "True Medical Detective Stories" tells in detective fashion the story of 19 unusual cases. His latest book, "Fascinomas -fascinating medical mysteries" reports 35 medical mysteries shared by his colleagues from around the country. He has a fascination about the efffects of mind on body,psychosomatic diseases, and Voodoo hexing. The books emphasize the importance of careful listening and engaging the patient in the search for causes of illness.

Kirkus Reviews says, "A quick, enjoyable book of health-related who- and whatdunits."

Absolutely loved this book! The medical mysteries were fascinating! It is totally amazing what the human body is capable of. I am a science student with views of doing medicine however this book is written in such a way that it is readable for anyone interested. Plenty of medical jargon is used but it is all explained in language easy to understand. I would love to read some more work by Clifton K. Meador in the future :)

I received a free copy of the audio book in exchange for an honest review

Loved this! It is truly amazing; both what the human body is capable of as well as the weird, wonderful and horrifying things that can happen to this. The audiobook is great and the medical jargon is at a minimum so that anybody is able to read/listen to it if they are interested. I did however find the narration to be a bit slow however i think that is due to the differences in accents; I am from Ne Zealand and i think we talk faster so not a 'negative' as such. Very well written overall!

This book has some of the most interesting cases which are true medical mystery's that were all puzzling at first but eventually solved. This book has some very interesting stories that just make you wonder about people. I found the book fascinating although I didn't care much for this title that the author chose for the book. I think it sounded a little confusing if you didn't already know what it meant. The stories are compelling and will leave you wanting more. This was an easy book to read because the stories are short and to the point. I was pleased to find that he has written many books and several books like this one. He has a web site you can check out and find all his books there.… (mehr)
