Dear english speakers Birdshot Friends,
If you're looking for a conventional guide to birdshot disease, you're on the wrong track*.
Pack up your stethoscope, because the "VIDAL" of the perfect little patient has no place here. In the twists and turns of ophthalmology, there's the disease, then there's the man who suffers from it. And in between, there's Homo birdshoticus maximus!
This fourth installment, after three volumes that have rigorously dissected birdshot retinochoroiditis, needed a little madness.
Because if injections and treatments are a necessary step, laughter, joie de vivre, and curiosity are essential remedies.
That's why, in these 245 pages, I've dared to create a bold mix. It contains medicine, of course, but also philosophy, science, humor, and personal reflections.
If this book doesn't take itself seriously, it's because, as Alphonse Allais so aptly said: "Beware of people who don't laugh; they're not serious people."
So, if you're looking to exercise your cheekbones while deepening your knowledge, you've come to the right place. My goal isn't to turn you into an armchair ophthalmologist, but to entertain you, educate you, and, I hope, give you a great time.
This book is proof that even a rare disease can become the pretext for a joyful literary adventure.
Is that normal, Doctor? Don't worry, it'll be fine...
Happy reading,
Best regards,
Sylvain.
*Rest assured, this is still a completely serious book.
PS : I hope there aren't too many translation errors. If there are any, please let me know.
