This was a different kind of novel for James Patterson. It was co-written by Hal Friedman who is the father of the main character. "Against Medical Advice" is a novel about a young boy that develops Tourrets Syndrome and OCD. Just before he turns 5 his life is thrown into turmoil with uncontrollable tics and involuntary utterances. Shuttled from one Doctor to another and put on medications that would knock a horse out this true story is so moving you can't help but feel all the pain this young man goes through. It gave me a whole different insight into this dreadful syndrome.
