A disturbingly real look at the end of life

July 10, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Nursing is difficult at best...and certainly not easy. It's a smelly, dirty job done by men and women who have either great hearts or very masochistic personalities....either way, they are under appreciated and grossly underpaid. This is a graphic look at the end of life from a nurse's point of view...very well written and somewhat irreverent...I loved it! Thanks, Ando!

Gruesomely candid, and disturbingly funny

August 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Gruesomely candid, and disturbingly funny, you may find yourself wondering whether to cry, gag, or laugh at the lurid accounts of a day in the life of a hospice nurse. With both an impish irreverence, and a genuine empathy that only an accordion-playing hospice nurse could demonstrate, Ehlers offers insight into the grisly reality that is caring for the terminally ill. If you've ever been stricken with the slightest bit of morbid curiosity as to what happens when a human body fails- what really happens behind the hospital curtains- read this novelette.

Neither funny nor ironic

July 28, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Perhaps if I'd actually read portions of text in the listing, rather than only the description, I'd have understood that this is a collection of explicit descriptions of the agonies of dying persons and the condition of their corpses, with profuse use of profanity, apparently with the intention of sounding "funny." It instead came across to me as a desecration of the dying and the dead. The text was unreadably small on a tablet, without a magnifying glass, and the publication merely consists of a very few short anecdotes of the author's experiences with very unfortunate individuals -- within the practice of many nurses and nurse aids but not, as presented, either humorous or insightful and not really a "book." NOTE: Amazon notified me that editorial and typographic changes have been made to the original but I have been unable to download or view them despite efforts to do so.

Even healthcare professionals cringe at some ailments.

August 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a short book with descriptions of intimate moments with weird injuries or illnesses. There are some nauseating descriptions, but real bodily infirmities, from the perspective of healthcare professionals. Even nurses gag sometimes.

Weird Book

July 9, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Maggots in the Moonlight--I guess I didn't know what to expect. It has a few (maybe 7) very short contemplations by the author of some weird things he's experienced while working as a nurse. Evidently he draws, too, because there are weird sketches after each story.

Ew?

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Maggots in the Moonlight was a quick read.
Not exactly what I was looking for. Not a real medical book- not a real horror book- just kind of icky. I wasn't too impressed.

Print needs to be a bit bigger on kindle

July 24, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The typing in the kindle edition was too small for me to read. I had to squint a little to get through the first page, even with the reprint.
