This review is from: Silenced Screams (Paperback)
Not Islamic Fundamentalists but nurse anesthesiologists propagated this terrror on Dr. Liska, who fifteen years ago survived an ordeal none of us (I hope) will ever have to face, she was being operated on and her anesthesia failed, and yet she was unable to tell the surgeons so, and so she spent the whole time being cut open, feeling it, and unable to speak. The pain medicine that should have been dulling the pain just didn't kick in this time. Since 1990, she has been gathering her strength back, just taking it easy and resting, and also organizing and fighting back, showing that for some victims of traumatic stress, activism may be the answer to dealing with the insecurities of living through a frightful experience. Now naturally what we all want to know is, Jeannette, this was terrible, but tell me, could it happen to me, too?

What you find out will chill the marrow of your bones! Warning, this is not a book for those who are nervous about doctors, nurses, hospitals, losing control, or pain.

But for everyone else, it is an eye-opener, like something out of Edgar Allan Poe. And it does happen!
