it’s definitely not for the lighthearted, Melinek described her work in visceral detail thar truly conveys exactly what had occurred.
i docked half a point off due to the author’s treatment of suicide. her own father killed himself when she was thirteen, which understandably colored her perception of it. but her low empathy or compassion for the suicidal, ranging from calling them delusional to downright selfish is ugly in a regular person, but willfully ignorant and harmful in a medical professional.

Also, I'm a total nerd so when they used an SEM to look at the ends of a suture to determine if it was tied off properly I was stoked since I've used them to look at tiny shit. It's fucking cool!

If you’re up for all that, I’d highly recommend this book. I couldn’t put it down, I stayed up till 2AM last night reading this, and was fascinated.
