I loved this book. It was sad at times, but I learned so much. Had a bunch of research consultations from nursing students the last couple weeks and I found myself telling them stuff I had learned. How CPR was discovered. The research into hibernation. How often resuscitation fails and the costs of it succeeding.
If you like Mary Roach or Sam Kean, you will enjoy this book.
