While where he must undergo a myraid of invasive tests and interact with the instituion's various personnel and personalities.The story told here is from a layman's point of view... a man with limited medical knowledge. We quickly learn to appreciate his anxieties and steadily increasing fears and misgivings.Given the gravity of the situation, all of the above may not sound unexpected, but what really makes this small work unique is the humor. Rare or unusual observations or comments that lend a softening balance to what might normally reduce many of us to tears. If fact there were a few laugh out loud moments sprinkled throughout this tiny work.This small work is well written... it has a professional feel to it.Conclusion:A serious medical event seen through the eyes of a patient with a sense of humor.5 StarsRay Nicholson
