pickThis was a low pick for me. The story of Nora Beady, who is brought into the home of Dr. Croft after her family has died due to cholera. Dr. Croft sees the potential in Nora and teaches her the medical sciences.
I liked Nora and her story, but the novel dragged in parts. I felt Nora‘s connection to Dr. Croft and Mrs. Pruitt, but struggled with her “romantic” relationships. There is a sequel, and I‘ll read it to find out what happens to Nora.
pickGreat book. Balances the tragedy and comedy really well to make it very interesting to us mere mortals who don‘t see all of the medical world. Highly recommend.
so-soIt wasn‘t a bad read, but I got easily distracted by other things often while reading it, so it didn‘t really hold my attention and took a while to finish. The stories were interesting but also sometimes felt like they were being told about someone else.
Eye-opening and so informative! I feel so seen listening to this book by a doctor who specializes in menopause (after going through it herself).
A friend recommended it to me today when I told her about the strange, intense shoulder pain I‘ve been having lately. It‘s called “frozen shoulder”—I‘m not the only one!
I can‘t be the only weirdo who gets excited when I see a sale on a book about a disease or medical condition. Right? Bueller? Bueller?

pickBananas. Often hard to read, because of its insensitivity and my own second-hand embarrassment…
