The Desperate Hours: One Hospital's Fight to… par Marie Brenner
Brenner looks at the beginning of the COVID pandemic through the eyes of doctors, nurses, administrators and more at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell hospitals in New York City. I live almost across the street from New York-Presbyterian and so I had a special interest in this well-researched, well-written, totally immersive book. Brenner puts the reader right in the midst of the hospital where decisions are being made quickly without much information available about COVID. What impresses me most is the dedication of doctors, nurses, aides and maintenance staff who showed compassion and courage in dealing with so many people who were dying around them. It reminded me of Sheri Fink's Five Days At Memorial, about a hospital caught up in Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The Desperate Hours is destined to go down as one of the most important books written about COVID. It will be one of my Most Compelling Books of 2022.… (plus d'informations)
Richard Jewell era un guardia de seguridad en los Juegos Olímpicos de Atlanta 1996, el cual descubrió una mochila con explosivos en su interior y evitó un número mayor de víctimas al ayudar a evacuar el área poco antes de que se produjera el estallido. En un principio se le presentó como un héroe cuya intervención salvó vidas, pero posteriormente Jewell pasó a ser considerado el sospechoso número uno y fue investigado como presunto culpable.
I could have gave this another star but I was bored reading some parts of the book. The story about his grandfather's and aunts should have written on the first part of the book because it looks like it was jumbled entirely to the flow of the story. The author also should have included some excerpts from his brother's diaries so the readers could have a glimpse of what his brother really like.
i really like her writing style. i also learned a lot about apples.
