«Cada libro de Quino es lo que m s se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia. -Gabriel Garc a M rquez

Oftalm logos, dentistas, cardi logos... Si hay una emoci n humana universal con la que Quino logr conectar es el temor a la consulta del m dico. En este libro, el gran humorista gr fico ganador del Premio Pr ncipe de Asturias recopila sus vi etas m s disparatadas en torno al tema de la salud.

Un retrato tanto de los pacientes --hipocondriacos, delirantes, rebeldes-- como de los profesionales --doctores con pr cticas dudosas, psicoanalistas que sufren crisis de identidad, cient ficos que descubren el virus de la soledad, cirujanos que conf an operaciones a la divina Providencia-- a trav s de una mirada ir nica y mordaz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Every book by Quino is the closest thing to happiness: It's like quinotherapy." -Gabriel Garc a M rquez

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.
