Description

The book is made up of chapters forwarding the current narrative mystery (patients are being murdered in a hospital, who is doing it?) and chapters about historical healthcare workers who hurt people. The way it worked for me, the historical chapters provided this slurry of potential motivations to think about as I was evaluating the current mystery and who did it. I can’t think of another book I’ve read with that structure, it felt fresh.

Help us be there for anyone with an illness they're likely to die from by telling us what you think. Jiao Zhao, of The Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, and colleagues looked at blood types of 2,173 patients with COVID-19 in three hospitals in Wuhan, China, as well as blood types of more than 23,000 non-COVID-19 individuals in Wuhan and Shenzhen. They found that individuals with blood types in the A group (A-positive, A-negative and AB-positive, AB-negative) were at a higher risk of contracting the disease compared with non-A-group types. People with O blood types (O-negative and O-positive) had a lower risk of getting the infection compared with non-O blood types, the scientists wrote in the preprint database medRxiv on March 27; the study has yet to be reviewed by peers in the field. In high-income countries, deaths are increasing for all top 10 diseases except two. Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the only causes of death in the top 10 for which the total numbers have gone down between 2000 and 2019, by 16% (or 327000 deaths) and by 21% (or 205000 deaths) respectively. High-income is the only category of income group in which there have been decreasing numbers of deaths from these two diseases. Nonetheless ischaemic heart disease and stroke have remained in the top three causes of death for this income category, with a combined total of over 2.5million fatalities in 2019. In addition, deaths from hypertensive heart disease are rising. Reflecting a global trend, this disease has risen from the 18th leading cause of death to the 9th. We never learn his name but we do know that he has overcome a serious drug addiction and is now working at the only hospital that will offer him employment. He is a physician and the hospital where he is now working i SUMMARY: Scottish physician became addicted to pain pills after an accident. He gets a second chance at a busy hospital in London. Soon after he begins working there, the hospital falls under scrutiny for a higher percentage of deaths, leading to a police investigation and the eventual capture of one of his coworkers who confesses to one of the (16?) patient murders.This has a slow build-up but I didn't mind that as I was interested in the various patients, nurses, doctors, working in limited conditions, mini-dramas that ensued.

Thinking about the last hours and moments of life is hard, but knowing what to expect may ease some of the worries you may be having. Everyone’s experiences are different but there are changes that often happen near to someone's death that may be signs the person is dying.It can be upsetting or worrying for those around the person to hear their noisy breathing. But it’s unlikely to be painful or distressing for the person who’s dying. Often they will be unconscious or won’t be aware of it. Shallow or irregular breathing

The year is 1999. Returning to practice after a suspension for stealing opioids, a young Scottish doctor takes the only job he can find: a post as a senior house officer in the struggling east London hospital of St Luke’s. At a global level, 7 of the 10 leading causes of deaths in 2019 were noncommunicable diseases. These seven causes accounted for 44% of all deaths or 80% of the top 10. However, all noncommunicable diseases together accounted for 74% of deaths globally in 2019.

The amount of research & accuracy Stephenson put into this novel, as well as using his own physician experience, was so well done & made it that much more intriguing and capturing. He amped up the anti, the suspicion, the doubt and wonder and kept it going until the unseeing twist of an ending. This completely satisfied my medical appetite like a three-course dinner at a five star restaurant!
