Race Against Disease
About This Novel
During his third year of medical school, David Feigenbaum often retreated to an empty ward to rest due to unexplained weakness. The former college quarterback who once dominated the field and was nicknamed "The Beast" is now weak. Emergency tests revealed that multiple organs were failing, but no diagnosis could be made. Eventually, he was diagnosed with an extremely rare disease, idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease. Unlike rare diseases such as ALS, this disease is almost unknown and has no effective treatments. David, who was almost sentenced to death, turned his personal misfortune into a mission. With his unyielding thirst for knowledge, he continued to study despite repeated relapses, and finally revealed the mechanism of the disease. Today, although the disease is still rare, a collaborative diagnosis and treatment network of professional doctors and researchers has been established so that patients no longer lose hope due to lack of knowledge or lack of resources.
