I am kind of a medical junkie. I love all the real-life medical shows on TV, movies about medicine and books about it. I think if I had two eyes that worked and two good hands, I migght have gone into medicine. Theresa Brown's Critical Care was a good way to get my medical fix. It's a recounting of Brown's first year as a nurse on a medical oncology floor. She had come to nuring late after teaching English at a majore university, so it was really well written. It was sad, but she was writing about cancer paitents so I wasn't so surprised. It was good.
Vanessa Wood's Bonobo Handshake was good too. It was about the author's time in Congo studying bonobos and chimps. It had a lot of history of the wars fought in Congo and Rwanda. Which was the best part for me.
I am woefully behind on these. I am current on book ten of the year. Stay tuned for more.
