Inferno: A Doctor's Ebola Story par Steven Hatch M.D.
A great job of humanizing the disease. The victims were the main characters, not Ebola, as in many other books. A bit too much history and politics of the region, but I see where it was necessary. Not what I was looking for in regards to the story, however. Everything else was done thoughtfully an with dignity.
This probably would have been more interesting to someone in the medical field. I found it to be a slog; interesting as a firsthand account of the ebola outbreak, but not exactly leisure reading.
This up-close and personal account of the 2014 Ebola outbreak provides intriguing new (to me) information about the pathology of the disease and the ways in which it affects even those whom it doesn't infect. Dr. Hatch's occasional injections of humor, however, weren't enough to keep the book from dragging, at times, and there were too many people introduced for this reader to feel connected to any of them.
Steven Hatch manages to write with both wit and gravity about going through the third year of medical school. His unique voice comes through the subject matter clearly; he narrates his own experiences in an engaging journal/diary style. He simultaneously illustrates the amazing, bufuddling, and shocking aspects of this less-written about yet transformative year.
Steven's insights into the medical profession and the practice of being a doctor not only made me think, but made me laugh. His ability to accomplish both in the same text is deserves high accolades. I highly recommend this book as an excellent and enlightening read for anyone, not just those pursuing a medical degree.… (plus d'informations)
