What your doctor knows but doesn't have time to tell you.
This book covers the major types of syncope that a person might experience.It is very good at presenting technical information in layman's terms without making the science sound like magic.Syncope can be a very ominous diagnosis because the underlying mechanisms are not all known.This book is a good primer for someone who has been diagnosed with one of the major types or recurrent syncope such as neurocardiogenic or orthostatic.I wish I had this book when I was first diagnosed. ...

Product Description
Sit back and enjoy this wonderful and unique narrative of Tennessee's "Fainting Goat". This audio book chronicles the travels of Jon Tinsley, the man history credits with bringing the Myotonics back to Marshall County, TN.Wanda Wood, as narrator, and Charlie Thunderfoot Hewett, as Hiram Obidiah Tate, tell the tale of how these gentle creatures overcame their harrowing beginnings and survived near extinction to become the worldwide phenomenom they are today. The Tennessee Fainting Goat originated in Tennessee. Sometimes called "nervous" goats, they possess a genetic condition called Myotonia. Whenever they are startled or excited, their muscles can stiffen, and cause them to faint and fall over. They remain fully awake, but cannot move.After a few moments, they recover, get back up and continue as if nothing happened. This condition is hereditary, but can be bred out if they are mixed with non-Myotonics. Fainting Goats are rated on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest degree of Myotonia (fainting). This goat is on the list of rare and endangered breeds. ... Read more
