Description

Moser’s How and When to Be Your Own Doctor begins with a strong man who could drink late and garden early — until the thirties, when the body sent a bill. Vegetarian tables, beer, the search for a cure outside the usual surgery. The Big Nest ebook of a first-person health argument: observation, diet, the nerve to treat yourself as a case. Not a licence to ignore a real emergency. A stubborn American memoir of getting well by paying attention, written as experience, not as a clinic’s brochure.

Author

Isabelle Moser is the co-author of How and When to Be Your Own Doctor, a practical guide to self-care on the Adelphi and Big Nest lists. The book belongs to a late-twentieth-century tradition of accessible medical self-help — encouraging readers to understand symptoms, habits, and when to seek further help, in plain language rather than clinic jargon.
