Poked and Prodded- A Humorous Medical Memoir
“This is a fabulous piece! I’ve honestly never read anything quite like it before. You have a brilliant premise and wonderful first person narration. Your conversational wit is superb (ie: “call up your pets,” “what color are your boxers?” and “a bazillion dollars”). I found myself relating, connecting, and truly enjoying your light-hearted discussion of a sometimes overwhelming situation. I also really loved the way you incorporated your beautiful relationship with Nina… “babe,” the “kiss goodnight,” and so many sweet ways you relate to each other. It really adds a richness to the human element in your narration.” -Faith Rose, author of Now to Him

Need A Few Laughs?–Author of Diary of A Sick Chick,
Ironically, I downloaded this book at the doctor’s office. It was so incredibly funny, I caused a small disturbance laughing out loud as others shot me angry looks.
Whatever.
The point is this book is hysterically funny and I highly recommend it. Many people, who suffer from chronic illnesses, know all too well what this experience is all about. I could do nothing more than laugh and nod my head in agreement but I couldn’t help wondering why some things are just universal truths when it comes to that all important doctor’s visit.
No matter what anyone says, when you go to the doctor, it is expected that you want a name for what’s causing your trouble along with the pill or method to get rid of it.
I highly recommend this book!

|Funny and from the heart,
I loved this book. Read it in one nice sit down. It would be a great book to read from a hospital bed, as morbid as that sounds, because the author captures all the details of hospitals, doctors offices, and nursing staff very vividly. This was like reading old school Reader’s Digest, and that’s no insult. Those stories were always well written, clean language, and kept you turning pages. That’s what these two memoirs do, and they do it nicely.
