As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom, Dr. Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fueled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. In 2016, when he was forty-one, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do.

People have always traveled for health, but as industrial pollution increased in nineteenth-century Britain, doctors started ordering their patients abroad in ever-growing numbers. This work explores the intensity and sheer strangeness of life in these colonies, governed by illness, but where patients (before the rise of the sanatorium) could move around freely, and even indulge in winter sports. Focusing on Menton on the Riviera and Davos in the Swiss Alps, from the 1860s to the 1920s, In Quest of a Cure explores the literary and medical cultures of these resorts.

La contaminazione esprime la paura di essere invasi da qualcosa o da qualcuno e mette in crisi la nostra singolarità. Esiste dai tempi più lontani: la ritroviamo nel Noli me tangere di Gesù nel Vangelo e nel cristianesimo con il rito del battesimo che toglie i peccati dell'uomo, ma anche in altre religioni, nelle caste degli intoccabili, nella presunta purezza dell'ordine nobiliare e nella discriminazione delle razze. Una concordanza fondata su elementi biologici che la paura del virus ha attivato, facendo presa dunque sulla costituzione generale ed essenziale della specie umana.

In parole povere, il farmaco fa venir meno voglia di mangiare perché agisce sull'interazione fra stomaco e cervello: chi lo prende lascia metà porzione nel piatto senza farsi violenza.
