Sinossi
What happens when life depends on a machine?
A dialysis unit is a high-stakes cauldron of conflicts and ethical dilemmas. Chance at Life provides a portal into the lives of dialysis unit 'regulars', both patients and staff. Together they navigate life's impossible choices and certain end.
A machine malfunction claims one patient's life, another patient buys a black market kidney, and another patient withdraws from dialysis entirely, inviting her dialysis friends to her 'good-bye party'. This powerful story explores the conflicts, unexpected friendships, love, laughter, and the search for hope amid the life-sustaining routine of a chronic dialysis unit..
Chance at Life is a gripping, poignant exploration of the human spirit and the unforeseen connections that form in the most trying of circumstances. It reminds the reader that behind every medical statistic is a human story filled with struggle, hope, and the desire for human dignity. It is perfect for those who appreciate medical dramas filled with real-world challenges and heartfelt storytelling.

Chance at Life (Paperback)
Print on DemandDa: CitiRetail, Stevenage, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Chance At Life (80,000 words), is upmarket fiction in the setting of a chronic dialysis unit where patients and staff struggle with life's limitations and their own mortality, featuring a machine malfunction that kills a patient, a black-market kidney transplant, and a patient who decides to withdraw from dialysis and throws herself a going away party. Although this novel can stand alone, it has series potential. The target audience includes readers who enjoy inspirational stories about people thriving amid adversity.The story is told through the viewpoints of three characters-young nurse Rachel, her mentor, Elizabeth, and dialysis patient Darnell. After Rachel drives a weary Darnell home post-treatment, (a risky violation of clinical judgement and professional boundaries) and then holds a dying patient's hand, instead of starting CPR, she has put her beloved career in jeopardy. The techs she supervises despise her, and she wonders if she's cut out to be a nurse. Her personal life disintegrates when she discovers that she is pregnant, and her fiance hits her when she refuses to get an abortion. She moves out, and begins a friendship-turned-romance with Darnell. After her mentor, Elizabeth, discloses her own kidneys are failing, the two discuss the merits of rejecting dialysis in exchange for a dignified death. When Darnell is beat by police, and hospitalized, he endures a near death experience in the ICU. His bond with Rachel grows stronger after she suffers a miscarriage. After growing angry about Elizabeth's decision to forego dialysis, her friend and nephrologist, Max, breaches confidentiality laws and informs her daughters, who talk her into accepting dialysis as an option. Subsequently, she and Max form a romantic relationship, and agree to live out as many years as they can together. After Darnell's beloved, but troubled brother, is shot and killed, Rachel convinces him to accept his brother's kidney. The two couples thrive and grow, finally happy, among the raging Covid pandemic lockdown of 2020. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9798993323404
