Reviewing "Against Medical Advice"
I found the reading of "Against Medical Advice" to be interesting since it was written from the perspective of the child with the disease.

Take this advice...... 
A compelling book that I could hardley put down. Picked it up after work yesterday and read until ten when I feel asleep. Picked it back up after work today and finished by 9:00 - My fastest read ever! I simply wanted to know more and more and just could not stop. The ending was definitely not a downer as I was fearing it might. Thanks to Mr Patterson for putting this TRUE story in print from the perspective he did.

Beating the Odds
This is an amazing story about a boy who was able to beat the odds and was able to fight back against Tourette's Syndrome. The nightmare this boy and his family had to go through to get the final result is hard to comprehend. The book opened my eyes into the many facets of the disease and how it can impact someone's life. I'm sure there are many families that are extremely grateful to this family for sharing their story and for showing that the disease can be beaten.
