    Paperback. Condición: Good. A leading cancer specialist tells the powerful stories of 3 adult leukemia patients-shining new light on the hidden history of the disease and the drugs developed to treat it. "A look at leukemia patients' fear, survival and grace while fighting the disease . . . a quiet chronicle of life with and beyond leukemia, and sometimes life's end."-TheWashington Post When you are told that you have leukemia, your world stops. Your brain can't function. You are asked to make decisions about treatment almost immediately, when you are not in your right mind. And yet you pull yourself together and start asking questions. Beside you is your doctor, whose job it is to solve the awful puzzle of bone marrow gone wrong. The two of you are in it together. In When Blood Breaks Down, Mikkael Sekeres, a leading cancer specialist, takes readers on the journey that patient and doctor travel together. Sekeres, who writes regularly for the "Well" section of The New York Times, tells the compelling stories of three people who receive diagnoses of adult leukemia within hours of each other: Joan, a 48-year-old surgical nurse, a caregiver who becomes a patient; David, a 68-year-old former factory worker who bows to his family's wishes and pursues the most aggressive treatment; and Sarah, a 36-year-old pregnant woman who must decide whether to undergo chemotherapy and put her fetus at risk. We join the intimate conversations between Sekeres and his patients, and we watch as he teaches trainees. Along the way, Sekeres also explores leukemia in its different forms and the development of drugs to treat it-describing, among many other fascinating details, the invention of the bone marrow transplant (first performed experimentally on beagles) and a treatment that targets the genetics of leukemia. The lessons to be learned from leukemia, Sekeres shows, are not merely medical; they teach us about courage and grace and defying the odds.…

    Paperback. Condición: Very Good. An extraordinary tale, told by the freshly-minted doctors rotating through the Medical Intensive Care Unit of one of the world's greatest hospitals, collected and placed into context by Cleveland Clinic physician Mikkael Sekeres, M.D., frequent contributor to the New York Times Well Blog and award-winning columnist for Oncology Times, and Theodore Stern, M.D., the Chief of the Psychiatric Consultation Service at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a Harvard Medical School professor of Psychiatry. The entries recorded in the seven-volume Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) Journal cover a twenty-year period, beginning in January, 1980, and reflect the unguarded reflections of these interns and residents as they are thrown into the chaos of the Massachusetts General Hospital intensive care unit, the last resort of medical care for much of New England, where only the sickest of the sickest patients are referred. Join these young doctors as they struggle with extremes of medical care, the outrageousness of humor in the midst of such despair, their first encounters with death, and ultimately take a step back to appreciate the miracle of survival as the human spirit triumphs over medical calamity. It is remarkable that, even as these interns and residents themselves toil through 36-hour, sleepless shifts, they steal away for a few minutes to write an entry in this diary, to place their experience in a greater context. It is even more incredible that their words, recorded at the peak of vulnerability, have survived.…
