But after her first visit, Dr. Awdish spent months fighting for her life, enduring consecutive major surgeries and experiencing multiple overlapping organ failures. At each step of the recovery process, Awdish was faced with something even more unexpected: repeated cavalier behavior from her fellow physicians--indifference following human loss, disregard for anguish and suffering, and an exacting emotional distance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHauntingly perceptive and beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eIn Shock\u003c\/i\u003e allows the reader to transform alongside Awidsh and watch what she discovers in our carefully-cultivated, yet often misguided, standard of care. Awdish comes to understand the fatal flaws in her profession and in her own past actions as a physician while achieving, through unflinching presence, a crystalline vision of a new and better possibility for us all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Dr. Awdish finds herself up against the same self-protective partitions she was trained to construct as a medical student and physician, she artfully illuminates the dysfunction of disconnection. Shatteringly personal, and yet wholly universal, she offers a brave road map for anyone navigating illness while presenting physicians with a new paradigm and rationale for embracing the emotional bond between doctor and patient.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope | Rana Awdish | Paperback | 9781250293770 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1664277","offer_id":48699692548248,"sku":"1664277","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81ooHy-OgWL.jpg?v=1773770715","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/in-shock-my-journey-from-death-to-recovery-and-the-redemptive-power-of-hope","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
