H1N1. Staph aureus. Traveler’s diarrhea. All examples of human interaction with the microbial world, which counts viruses, bacteria, and parasites too numerous to mention. Infectious Disease doctor Mark Crislip has a strange relationship with this world—he spends most of his time trying to kill it, even as he appreciates the vital role microorganisms play in the Earth’s ecosystems. Puswhisperer is a collection of infectious disease anecdotes created from a year’s worth of clinical blog posts from the Medscape blog Rubor, Dolor, Calor, Tumor. Originally intended for residents and fellows, the posts have been compiled, edited, and revised for a non-specialist audience. The tales cover a wide range of diagnostic dilemmas and treatment quandaries. Which infection smells like buttered popcorn? Are some antibiotics “stronger” than others? Is it OK to eat the oysters? Along with clinical insight, the book provides a good dose of humor and insightful, microbe-centered philosophy. The author speculates on what the Earth might look like in five billion years, when animals and plants are gone, but bacteria remain. He also draws attention to the staggering rate of evolution in bacteria, made possible by short generation times and passing of genetic material from one bug to another. Finding a 60-year-old Staph strain in an old wound, Crislip tells us, is like looking out your window and seeing a Neanderthal shuffle by. Recommended for anyone interested in infectious disease and the microorganisms that run our planet.

A fifth volume of infectious disease clinical pearls covering the common (influenza, staph) to the rare: rare bacteria in common locations, common bacteria in rare locations, and one-of-a-kind diagnostic dilemmas that in some cases are never fully resolved. Following Pasteur's dictum that "the microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything," Crislip introduces the reader to a panoply of host factors in infection, from HIV infection to intravenous drug use to unusual variations in the immune system or the anatomy. Full of wit and bad puns, Crislip's essays are a fun way to study for Board exams or just learn more about our microbial overlords.

A carefully selected and edited compendium of the best of Dr. Mark Crislip (the Puswhisperer)'s blog posts from sciencebasedmedicine.org. The sections have been edited for redundancy, updated for 2017, and classified into themes.Supplements and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (SCAM) can be classified many ways; generally speaking, alternative remedies are:Possible: mostly botanicals and herbal remedies. There is nothing impossible that a given plant product will affect a given disease, although often the provenance of a given herbal treatment is suspect.Impossible: the rest of CAM. It will be equally impossible to cover every CAM practice, so just a few are treated in depth.The book is classified as follows:What's the Harm? A general discussion of why SCAM is bad for people, animals, and the environment.Alt-Facts: Why Scientific Thinking is Hard. A discussion of how and why our powers of logic are often powerless against SCAM.Counting to Ten: Statistics for the Rest of Us. A somewhat technical section about statistical errors and fallacies, and why interpreting the literature is difficult even for clinicians. A must-read for lovers of math.Realm of the Possible. A discussion of supplements, including the evolution of my thinking on probiotics.Rectum? Damn Near Killed 'Em. Probiotics and the Gut MicrobiomeHerbs and SupplementsEliminate the Impossible. Impossible treatments, their fallacies and risks.ChiropracticHomeopathyAcupunctureMiscellaneous Quack RemediesVaccines and Flu Woo.

Mark Crislip's alternative history novel explores what the present day might look like if the purveyors of patent medicines had managed to suppress the germ theory. Conflicting models of disease and cure, ranging from balancing humors to homeopathy, form the basis of powerful guilds that control public discourse and stifle discovery. Cholera breaks out in 2017 Portland, Oregon, and all of the medical guilds rush to own a piece of the cure. But an unlikely team of skeptics have heard rumors from Europe that disease is caused by animalcules invisible to the naked eye. With a smuggled microscope and a gradually evolving hypothesis, the skeptics take histories, sample, and examine whatever they can. When the guild leaders find out, the skeptics must race against time and the vagaries of the cholera bacillus itself to keep the outbreak from decimating the city.

An entirely new compendium of clinical tales from Mark Crislip, MD, the "Puswhisperer." As in his previous collections, Puswhisperer I and II, Puswhisperer III provides clinical gems from a decades-long practice in infectious disease. From flu to staph to Legionnaire's to tuberculosis, HIV, and a few zebras, Puswhisperer will test your diagnostic acumen and ensure that you never miss an endocarditis or a Lyme disease. If you're a physician, this is a fun way to help you pass what Crislip consistently refers to as the Boreds. If you're not a clinician, but simply have a fondness for our bacterial and fungal overlords, then read the Puswhisperer and learn about microorganisms you've never heard of before (or ones whose names have been changed by pesky microbiologists at their annual meeting).
