Is this more букет like букет цветов - maybe a "collection of illnesses"; or like букет вина, which I would probably render more as "aroma" or "aftertaste"?

Yuri Geifman
: I like this much better than anything else suggested so far as this is closest in flavor (ack..) to a "bouquet of diseases"

James Vail
: As a side note, medical people often refer to a 'constellation' of illnesses or symptoms, but that term is probably more jargon than you need.

: "walking compendium" is like saying a "walking encyclopedia" (of knowledge). Compendium is a treatise, dissertation, thesis, discourse, summary, compilation, outline, etc.. I just don't think it fits here, IMHO.

All previous translations are pretty decent. I picked this one because it's slightly more colorful than "bunch" I think.
