A face oculta: Inusitadas e reveladoras histórias da medicina
De sua coluna em Zero Hora, onde põe em cena o universo da prática da medicina, universo cheio de mitologias, descobertas, medos, conquistas, o autor ilumina áreas obscuras da ação muitas vezes heróica dos médicos e busca compreender a angústia dos pacientes, enquanto esclarece, a todos nós, as dúvidas mais urgentes sobre o mais próximo dos planetas: o nosso próprio corpo. Eis um livro que, sob vários aspectos, é um remédio.
