Medical Mysteries features short, irresistible mystery stories--all about odd medical conditions: a girl who is allergic to water; a person with "fake foreign accent syndrome"; wolf men; and even a man who appears to be turning into a tree.
Other fascinating medical conditions that will be explored include:
- Proposopagnosia: when a person can't recognize faces (even those of their own mother or child).
- Synesthesia: when a person's senses get crossed (they hear a musical note when they see a color, or everything they taste has a shape).
- Sexomonia: when a person attacks their partner sexually (and sometimes violently) while completely asleep.
Stories of medical oddities are always captivating, but this book is also tied in to the popular ABC show Medical Mysteries. With over 4 million viewers, the show provides a built-in audience for the book, and an excellent promotional platform.
- Medical Mysteries is a popular ABC Prime Time show, with more than 4 million viewers.
- The book will publish to coincide with new episodes of the show.
- ABC will support the book with both on-air and online promotions. And there are talks with Good Morning America about promoting the book, as well.
