I never knew that a serious health problem that took three surgeries to fix could be explained with such hilarity.  Andy Borowitz made me laugh out loud throughout this Kindle Single, and at times the seriousness of his illness was nothing to laugh about.This is my first exposure to Andy, being a Washington Post reader and having never read anything else by him.  If "An Unexpected Twist" is any indication of his other writing, I'm a fan already.  He hits everything with such humor from the word "Triage" to Dr. Wu's habit of speaking in very short sentences that Borowitz refers to as tweets.  Their conversations might as well have been on Twitter sometimes, they were so brief and abbreviated.What this poor man went through is really a nightmare that he has turned into a very humorous piece of writing, but the reality of it really isn't very funny.  His wife, Olivia, is by his side every minute of the way through, and in the end it is a very heartwarming story well worth reading.
