Publisher's Synopsis

&«Cada libro de Quino es lo que más se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia.» -Gabriel Garcìa Márquez
 
Oftalmólogos, dentistas, cardiólogos... Si hay una emoción humana universal con la que Quino logró conectar es el temor a la consulta del médico. En este libro, el gran humorista gráfico ganador del Premio Prìncipe de Asturias recopila sus viñetas más disparatadas en torno al tema de la salud.

Un retrato tanto de los pacientes -hipocondriacos, delirantes, rebeldes- como de los profesionales -doctores con prácticas dudosas, psicoanalistas que sufren crisis de identidad, cientìficos que descubren el virus de la soledad, cirujanos que confìan operaciones a la divina Providencia- a través de una mirada irónica y mordaz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Every book by Quino is the closest thing to happiness: It's like quinotherapy." -Gabriel Garcìa Márquez
 
Ophthalmologists, dentists, cardiologists... If there's one universal human emotion Quino manages to channel, it's fear of going to the doctor. This book is a collection of some of the most hilarious healthcare-related spoofs by the Prince of Asturias Prize-winning cartoonist.
 
An irreverent portrait of patients - the hypochondriac, the delusional and the rebellious - and professionals - doctors with dubious credentials, psychoanalysts suffering an identity crisis, scientists who discover a virus that causes loneliness, surgeons who entrust their operations to divine providence - with Quino's trademark ironic humor.
