This article is a bit lengthy, but truly fascinating. It’s also written in the typical New Yorker style making it very readable. Word to the wise: it does contain some medical gore.

You won’t have access to the full article for this one (unless you have a subscription to the online version of the New Yorker), but you can read a short summary of the article. It’s no literary masterpiece, but it gets the point across, especially if you read the other one first.
