it's amazing on how i finally managed to finish reading a book this year. yea, i havent said that for quite some time now. since it is my 1 month break, ive decided to occupy the time by reading. in addition, it is one of the ways for me to improve my ever deteriorating English usage.
so, thanks to my sis's collection, i decided to give "JODI PICOULT - handle with care" a try. how irony, it was medically-related. seems like i can never run away from this field. anyway, the story is about a girl, named Willow who was diagnosed to have Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). OI is a condition where there is a defect in proper bone development which also results in lack of collagen formation. thus, u are as fragile as brittle glass.
life wasnt easy for her due to her condition. this was also towards her family. so, the mother decided to take a lawsuit against the former obstetrician who also happened to be the mother's bestfriend. OH OW!!
so, what i can learn from this book were :
1. never take your friend as your patient
2. take a malpractise insurance.. (err.. dunno what the heck issit.. but it provides some kind of protection)
3. always be cautious and alert when using the ultrasound
4. please refer to your specialist once you discover an abnormality that you are not sure of
honestly, i was quite surprised with the ending. didnt expect it that way. but overall, i'll say this book is worth your time. i truly recommend this to anyone who is involved with health care sector especially to the future obstetricians. it gives you a slight sneak on how negligence could lead to many possible positive as well as negative consequences. so, please, please be careful.
ok. book 1 is down. will try to finish Men are from Mars, Women are from Venuses. double thumbs up book to those who want to understand relationships as well as your partner!
PS : oh, i wanna thank my sis for her jodi picoult collection.
