Do you have a link? Incredible if true.
I just finished this book and am now persuaded that the history of AIDS/HIV is strikingly different than we are taught.
I apologize for any shitty formatting or spelling errors ahead of time. I'm currently on mobile.
I don't know if this is related, but I decided to do some research on SARS and happened upon a book on amazon titled "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome: From Benchtop to Bedside". The author, Joseph J. Y. Sung, was born in Hong Kong and is also the chancellor/president of the University of Hong Kong. On his Wikipedia page he is specifically noted for his contributions towards fighting the SARS outbreak if 2002.
I have no idea if he is the "beautiful Joseph" your grandfather is referring to, but I thought I should post this just in case.
I'm leaving a link to his book on SARS as well as his Wikipedia page here in case anyone else wants to look into it further.

So I guess that means you can't answer my questions. If you want to actually be informed on the subject please check out the books I posted. I have read all of them and finished the last one, Scourge about a month ago so the info is still fresh in my head.
Something like this?

We had wifi in our dormitory, but not in the clinic. I was using the Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine for just about everything. It had a few pictures of rashes. Honestly we just guessed on a bunch. Gave out a lot of low-concentration steroid cream.
I'm not aware of any textbook that contains all the subjects in one, and isn't test prep (question and answer format). That said, I only used ASCP's book (BOC Study Guide), which was not that helpful. These are probably too much information, but if she already knows enough about the clinical laboratory to navigate them, they may be helpful. Particularly if you can find cheap used ones a few editions old. These are the books I used for my clinical theory classes:
Hematology
Hematology Atlas
Clinical Chemistry
Clinical Microbiology
Parasitology
Blood Banking
She may also need one for Urinalysis & Body Fluids, though I have not used this one, just picked it from Amazon.
If nothing else the blood banking one is cheap! Good luck!
Johns Hopkins HIV Guide 2012
This is a great book on the emergence of Lassa fever and its diagnosis.
Haha I find it funny that you called it a "demon lord" because one of the names for tuberculosis is the "captain of death" https://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Death-Story-Tuberculosis-0/dp/1878822969/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=captain+of+death+tuberculosis&qid=1572617523&sr=8-2 .
I can highly recommend this book. However it is degree level and a little bit pricey. You can easily get an older edition that's a little cheaper or a used one.
