Realistic account

Revisado: 10-01-17

I found this to be a great to the minute account of a day in the life of a nurse. While the memories and personal reflections on each situation would be very nurse to nurse, I found a lot of the questions she contemplated to be familiar to healthcare personnel in general. I think it would be a great book for anyone not in healthcare to see a perspective from inside the nurses clogs, or for an aspiring nurse to understand what a day is really like.

fun and honest

Revisado: 01-11-16

not a lot of medical details or explanations... but a ton of hilarious, disgusting and disturbing stories of what medics encounter. not appropriate for all ages btw, I was hoping to share with my preteen son but profanity and violence nixed that idea. . the author did great giving us all the juicy bits with only relevant details of his life in addition to his work experiences. I recommend for anyone considering a career in patient care to listen as a reality check of the highs and lows to expect. enjoyed!

mesmerizing like a soap opera

Revisado: 12-29-15

I am a nursing student and this course was a great overvuew of a myriad of conditions that are commonly faced in healthcare. The professor does an eccellent job of stopping to define uncommon terms and of giving wellthought out alternatives to his conclusions. Loved it!!

cute

Revisado: 12-11-15

Is there anything you would change about this book?

not scientific at all... this book is cute, meandering musings about marriage. I like more scientific information but this was strictly "uplifting". not to discount the effects of motivation but I would hardly call it research. otherwise, enjoyable, as long as you expect what you are getting.

What three words best describe Fawn Weaver’s performance?

nice voice but odd spacing in some places... like pauses where no pause belonged, choppy.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

primarily inspirational

Revisado: 11-19-15

As a student In nursing school, I listen to books by survivors of every type of disorder in order to gain insight into the patient's perspective. Abbey's story is fun and motivational but she doesnt go into great depths about her illness. Far more about the details of pageantry, which even though not an interest of mine was entertaining. I admire her attitude and work with disabled girls. And as always I appreciate someone willing to share their story.

insightful

Revisado: 08-26-15

As an aspiring medical professional I always appreciate someone willing to share their story. Hearing from the patients perspective allows me to understand their motivation. Not having similar issues, it was very insightful to hear the ideas and actions that she took, that I never would have thought of. I also enjoy the explanation of procedures and medications, as many with fertility issues are likely subject to similar treatments. Overall easy listen and entertaining.

everything I wanted to know!

Revisado: 08-20-15

I am a nursing student, not a new mom, and I think Dr Sloan wrote this book just for me. Full of practical, scientific and patient care topics (normal and abnormal) with bonus historical information and medical terminology. He details with personal accounts to illustrate his points and many stories entertain as well. I love the minds of doctors and he sounds like a great one! Loved it! I gave 4 pts for performance because he is somewhat monotone, which works for me but others may find dry. I like authors narrating their own books though!

very detailed account

Revisado: 07-12-15

The author relays in detail his wife's ordeal with Parkinson's... very informative, easy listen. As a healthcare worker, I enjoy hearing the patient perspective. Bonus political history of disease research funding.

Engaging; American history & love story

Revisado: 06-30-15

Insightful look into the world of immigrants in the early 1900s, I love how it is told from Mary's perspective, feels realistic and you understand what she was likely thinking. The story helps to bring this interesting part of medical history to Into your own frame of reference. Ultimately a tale of human experience and one woman's success, grief, love and unfortunate fate as an outcast of society. Also fantastic narration with the different accents, Irish, German, Italian and so on.
