Dr Rana Awdish - In Shock (2nd Hand Hardback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780593079492
Synopsis
Subtitled : How nearly dying made me a better intensive care doctor.
Dr. Rana Awdish never imagined that an emergency trip to the hospital would result in haemorrhaging nearly all of her blood volume and losing her unborn first child. But after her first visit, Dr. Awdish spent months fighting for her life, enduring consecutive major surgeries and experiencing multiple overlapping organ failures.
At each step of the recovery process, Awdish was faced with something even more unexpected: repeated cavalier behaviour from her fellow physicians - indifference following human loss, disregard for anguish and suffering, and an exacting emotional distance.

External Reviews
"A riveting first-hand account of a physician who's suddenly a dying patient, In Shock "searches for a glimmer of hope in life’s darkest moments, and finds it.” - The Washington Post.
"Awdish’s debut memoir is a compassionate and critical look at medicine and illness from both a doctor’s and a patient’s perspective." - Publishers Weekly.
" . . . add to that the complexity of her family, her job, her perspective. What I didn't expect was the author's super mastery of the craft of writing. Her phraseology is concise yet beautiful. Like poetry. Many paragraphs I reread, just to revel in the precise word choice, the cadence and diction, the evocative description. Rarely are we, the readers, treated to this combination of extraordinary writing, compelling story telling, and provocative, solution-oriented instruction. And all the better that it focuses on health care: a field with which all readers can identify." - Google Review.
