Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at Hospital Pantai Ayer Keroh, Melaka, Dr. Chuah Seong York has published GUT FEELINGS, his 2nd book, written especially for the public on gastro-intestinal and oesophageal diseases commonly encountered in clinical practice. Like his 1st book, LIVER & GALLBLADDER MATES, which was on hepato-biliary and pancreatic diseases, GUT FEELINGS is written in Chinese and indeed fills a void where hitherto there has been a paucity of such books. This book comprises of 15 highly readable chapters on:
- Understanding Dyspepsia.
- Fasting, missing meals and dyspepsia.
- Helicobacter pylori.
- Stomach Cancer.
- Gastro-Intestinal Obstruction.
- Achalasia of Gastric Cardia.
- Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
- Understanding Colitis.
- Colon Cancer.
- Diverticular Disease.
- Anaemia and Gastro-Intestinal Bleeding.
- Understanding Appendicitis.
- Typhoid Fever and Fever of Unknown Origin.
- Health Screening and Tumour Markers.
In writing the book Dr. Chuah has tried to use simple Chinese so that the lay public could understand. Where possible, he has tried to simplify the medical terminologies used in China and Taiwan to suit the Malaysian context. This book is also interestingly illustrated with cartoons, figures, diagrams, photos and tables to facilitate understanding.
GUT FEELINGS (ISBN: 978-983-3031-58-0) may be purchased at any Chinese bookstore and is priced at RM9.00 in West Malaysia and RM10.00 in East Malaysia.
