The clot thickens

The Clot Thickens  by Dr Malcolm Kendrick
 
There is no doubt that the title of this book wins hands down and I was so looking forward to reading it. I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kendrick and he is as entertaining to chat with as he is to read. Perhaps it is the Scottish charm. Whatever it is he deserves to be taken very seriously for his sterling work on heart disease. He has dug deep to give us an alternative view of what causes heart disease. Well away from the cholesterol hypothesis that keeps the medical world kachinging away.
 
Of course, his view is not welcomed by the mainstream. Why would it? But he puts across great arguments for how and why atherosclerosis and heart disease are prevalent and what to do about it. The book's detail does make it not the easiest to understand at times but ultimately his tone and humour bring you through.
