A Good Read

I found "Beauty Sleep" to be a very interesting and thought provoking book. It was a true account of a woman having plastic surgery and dying. It just so happened that an acquaintance was the CRNA caring for her. This could have been me or you who did not survive. It could have been me or you who was accused of her murder. Being in the medical field, I know that one mistake can cause loss of life or life long disabilities. I thought the book was very detailed and factual. It most certainly was not the bad read other reviewers gave it. It makes me wonder if they were acquainted with the "victim". A good read!
