Reading her story is gut wrenching and, frankly, terrifying. The illness, she writes, "took me apart, piece by piece, and put me back together in a conformation so different I questioned if I still existed at all." Her recovery would take several years, include five major surgeries and multiple hospitalizations in intensive care. She was pregnant at that time and her baby died. Awdish nearly died when a tumor (adenoma) ruptured in her liver, leading to multisystem organ failure. ![]() If I had to pick one book that I would recommend for all health professionals, it would be "In Shock" by Dr Rana Awdish, a critical care physician from the Henry Ford health system in Michigan. ![]() You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome (Hunter Patch Adams) ![]()
