From Mouseketeers to John Kennedy, the Vietnam Era to the prosperous Reagan years, this book chronicles an active life sidelined by disease for twenty years, yet defying the odds it details a path to recovery. It's a kiss and tell look at the CDC and NIH and follows the political history of an epidemic swept under the rug by the medical\/insurance\/pharmaceutical cartel endearingly referred to as Goliath. It exposes the dirty side of medicine as physicians in their own words violate the oath and choose business to healing. This narrative precedes the age of COVID and explores the tragedy of a \u003cem\u003ePost Viral Syndrome\u003c\/em\u003e. It outlines decades of political activism and paves the way for future victims to address their demise. While grim at times, academic at others, its overall sense of humor and humanity is never lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rik Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798234043801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlsson Group--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.95d","brand":"Rik Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659822674175,"sku":"9798234043801","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pig-the-python-rik-carlson-9798234043801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
