“Often in my medical career, I encounter patients frustrated their disease was of an unknown cause,” said McCunney. “I integrated the investigation of the blood diseases with romance and international terrorism involving Northern Ireland, which incorporates my long interest in Irish history and contemporary politics with my experience in medicine.”
As a practicing physician for over 40 years in occupational environmental medicine, Dr. McCunney has been asked to determine potential occupational or environmental causes of disease and also to evaluate whether exposure to a hazard has adversely affected human health. Over his career, he has evaluated “clusters” of diseases and has lectured on the topic around the world.
“I would like readers to gain a perspective on how environmental hazards can adversely affect health and how such causes may be examined,” said McCunney, “including a glimpse into the process of investigating clusters.”
