Very Interesting Listen

Revisado: 09-27-21

This was a great behind the scenes account of both Trumps final days in office and Bidens build up and eventual beginning presidency. While this does show the crazy town that was the Trump Whitehouse as the news articles and previews alluded to, the biggest thing I took away from this was a complete loss of respect for Lindsey Graham. He comes off as a complete brown nosing, snake in the grass that cares nothing about the US.

I also left with much more respect for Mike Pence. While I do not agree with the man's politics he may of single handedly prevented a very dark time in US history on par with the Civil War. He did what was right in an impossible situation that so many others would have bent on at great risk to him, his family, and his future political career.

Started strong but faded as it went on

Revisado: 08-14-21

For starters I love medical book particularly those written by doctors. I appreciate the science and the real world stories of the profession. So I am not new to the genre by any means.

While the story started very strong and intense with me listening intently for the first couple hours it faded as things progresses. I found the author's ideas on how doctors should be too preachy and really lacks empathy for the daily struggles of someone in the field. Some of the points she made were real and doctors could take to heart, I just felt the delivery came off very abrasive especially with how interacted with others that were often time Co workers. Many of the things she expected out of others just are not in everyone's nature. More over some people may have genuinely identified with her situation but lacked the words to express it or perhaps struggle with expressing themselves particularly in intensely emotional or awkward moments. Yet others maybe dealing with something like social anxiety.

What she went through was truly awful and her recollections of the event serve as an important message to doctors: always remember your patients are people and may can hear or see you despite thier overall mental state. That said this author expects too much out of people already dealing with one of the hardest jobs on the planet and the message was often lost just due to a lack of tact.

I have a couple hours left but decided to take a break and leave a review. I may comeback to this after some time and finish it and update my review but I honestly just need a break from the message and the negativity for the moment.

Great Listen

Revisado: 08-13-21

This book starts a little slow but ramps up to a point where you won't want to stop listening for the night. Very good mix of entertainment and science. Great medical read.

Entertaining, but a little too Gody at times

Revisado: 06-17-21

I have been enjoying the stories here and it's a must for some of you looking for positive stories in a world full of negative ones. I primarily got this book for the medical aspects, but still enjoyed the general positive vibe it portrayed. My only complaint is God and religion were brought up a little too much for liking. Probably not a big deal for those with faith so this maybe a positive for you. For those of you getting this for the medical science aspect you maybe disappointed. I for one think doctors and nurses should get the credit for these miracles and I would of liked to hear more about how they did it.

All that said I'm still happy with this title and enjoyed it.

OK I Guess

Revisado: 02-04-20

The actual police cases in this book were interesting and were covered well by the author, but just past about halfway it starts being about personal life related to the job which I was just not that interested in and would have rather just heard more cases. The author also has a bit of an annoying habit of trying to come across as a badass which I felt was unnecessary and distracted from the story.

Good Listen to Medical Enthusiasts

Revisado: 06-29-19

I'm not a doctor but have always been interested in medicine and would gauge my knowledge on the subject as above average. With that in mind its always hard for me to find good medical non fiction. Its either too dumbed down and lacking scientific detail or way too technical with its target being medical professionals and students. This book had just the right balance and I enjoyed the stories told and the science explained. If you are anything like me in this regard you will enjoy this book toom

Awesome

Revisado: 01-06-19

I am a fan of medical books such as despite no connection to the profession. This book has a good balance of story, science, and emotions. I could see it being helpful to a struggling medical intern or student out there. Its also just a fabulous listen if you just enjoy these kinds of reality based stories. I listened to the whole thing through over only a weekend.

A good listen if you want to know about the case

Revisado: 10-24-18

This was a very good explanation of all the crazy and tragic happenings behind the murder of Skylar Neese. Definitely worth a listen if you are a fan of true crime. It was well researched and accurate and the story kept my attention.

My only complaints are the occasional hearsay, but its not over the top and facts generally are stated. There are parts though that focus on it too much and thus a loss of a star. The narrator's pronunciation of the word 'sex' also drove me crazy, but I didn't remove a star for something so silly.

Gripping

Revisado: 06-24-17

I listened to this in two days - it's a very gripping story and the narrator does a great job. I will definitely check out the author's other works.
