Notes From the Mothership The Naked Invisibles
I am blown away with your ability to draw me into the emotion of your experiences. You've been able to communicate (so beautifully) all the various accompanying emotions that have surrounded the cases you describe. You've captured the agony, the wonder, the humor, the paradoxes and the surreal qualities of being, day-after-day, in an environment that is way outside most people's experiences...Have you ever thought of writing a book based on your experiences of being an advocate for patients? Your passionate feelings about patient advocacy are inspiring. Your insights, being a medical insider, would be of great comfort and good use to patients (and families of patients) who feel lost in the maze of medical treatments and hospitalizations. --Northwest Word StudioYou are birthing a work that many women will appreciate and identify with, myself included.  I applaud your courage, your goals, and your passionate transparency.  Giving this book to yourself is a big gift for others. --Northwest Word StudioNotes from the Mother Ship, is not just an autobiography, it's a poetic and sometimes tragic look at life in general. The pathos of the OR as she describes it is a touching look at life and death from the vantage point of close proximity.     Just as the author seeks out other avenues for her self expression and ways to escape the morass of the life and death situations in a cardiac OR, the book takes you on a whirlwind tour de force of personal experiences and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the world of standup comedy. It's a Faulknerian stream of consciousness that allows the reader entre into the mind--and great heart--of this remarkable woman. --Hollywood, CA
