Life and Death: Exploring the Connection

Belleville, St. Michaels, Barbados (Vocus/PRWEB) March 02, 2011

A new book explores the integral relationship between living and dying as it brings readers into the operating room.

In 1.58 Seconds, author Dr. Alfred Sparman provides a revealing look into near-death episodes through a fictional take on his own experiences. Vividly descriptive, the book gives readers a captivating look at the pressures inside the operating room. Among many gripping scenes, it details a setting involving a 9mm pistol pointed at the chest of a potential patient and the fractured facial bones of another.

The easy interchange between living and dying has always captured my interest, Sparman says.

Straying from a doctors stereotypical medical textbook, 1.58 Seconds allows readers to candidly explore the relationship between life and death, a surgeons daily game of tug-of-war. The book supplements an entertaining storyline with practical education, providing a glossary for all medical terminology used.

This is medicine written in a simplistic, engaging and interesting format, Sparman says. Its fictional reality.
