Assalamualaikum everyone... Yeah,the end of my HA in the past few weeks was literally a STARTING POINT for me. I think I've found my long-searching passion when my interest in medicine had blossomed. I've been searching and somehow forcing myself to indulge with the path i'd accidentally-on-purpose choosed. Alhamdulillah. I was hoping that my decision is firm enough to make it all the way until i meet the dead-end.
A million thanks should be given to my friend (name cannot be mentioned), as he always feed me with awe-inspiring advices while I was searching for the big P which is the Passion in medical field.
Well,I just wanna share what I've read recently. I admit that among the pile of novels I've read, FOREIGN BODY is the first medical thriller novel i've explored. Yup, Twilight Saga Series was history. =P
So, written by #1 New York Times-Bestselling Author, Dr. Robin Cook, I can't wait any moment just to enjoy the feeling like I'm in the particular situation on every page of it. Plus,the medical term used in the writing was riched and practical. Currently,im on page 159 and there's a lot more page to finish. :( Anyways, let me show you a peripheral peek of the novel's synopsis.
Foreign Body is a medical thriller novel of series of unexplained deaths in foreign hospitals sends an idealistic UCLA medical student on a desperate search for answers in this chilling tale from the master of the medical thriller.
Jennifer Hernandez is a fourth-year medical student at UCLA, just beginning an elective in general surgery, whose world is shattered during a break in an otherwise ordinary day. While relaxing in the surgical lounge of L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, she half listens to a TV segment on medical tourism: first-world citizens traveling to third-world countries for surgery. But when she hears her beloved grandmother's name mentioned, Jennifer's heart nearly stops: the CNN reporter says that Maria Hernandez has died, a day after undergoing a hip replacement in New Delhi's Queen Victoria Hospital.
Maria had raised Jennifer and her brothers from infancy, and the bond between grandmother and granddaughter was unbreakable. Still, the news that Maria traveled to India is a shock to Jennifer, until she realizes that it was the only viable option for the hardworking yet uninsured woman.
Devastated, and desperate for answers, Jennifer takes emergency leave from school and heads to India, where relations with local officials go from sympathetic to sour as she pushes for more information. With revelations of other unexplained deaths compounded by pressure from Indian hospital officials for hasty cremations, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery, who has her own deep connection to Maria.
Laurie, along with her husband, Dr. Jack Stapleton, rushes to the younger woman's side, and discovers a sophisticated medical facility with little margin for error. As the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a sinister, multilayered conspiracy of global proportions.
