Memoirs of a Comatose Brain Surgeon: Medical Thriller
By Dr. Charles Benedict Lewison
Professor Jacob Lieberman, a brilliant pioneering brain surgeon at the pinnacle of his career is about to be honored at the Boston Convention Center by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons for his lifelong achievement and contributions to the rapidly evolving field of clinically applied brain -computer interface (BCI) technology. Within the blink of an eye he is brutally gunned down in front of his family and colleagues by the deranged son of a long deceased patient who seeks to avenge the death of his mother. Jacob escapes death, but barely survives in a comatose state during which he recalls with painful precision his neurosurgical boot camp training and all the tangled and complex relationships he experienced throughout his life. It is within the vast oceanic expanse of his subconscious mind that he unravels the true meaning of love and desire, of hope and longing, and of life and death. These answers which eluded him during his turbulent conscious existence, and throughout his lifelong scientific exploration of the human brain, ultimately lead to the liberation of his body and to the reawakening of his soul.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF MEMOIRS***
Professor Jacob Lieberman was all set to accept a lifelong
achievement award when the son of a former patient attempts to shoot him in the
head. He only succeeds in hitting Jake three times in the neck. While in a coma,
Jake reflects on the many years and sacrifices that got him to this stage of his
career as an esteemed brain surgeon.
I was rooting for Jake all the way through his internship
and residency. Even though there were huge amounts of medical terminology, I
understood what was happening. I just don’t think that it needed that much
description. There were times that I
felt like strangling Jake when he took so many personal chances, and other
times I cheered along with his accomplishments. This story really surprised me
in that it was interesting all the way through it. I wasn’t expecting that. I
highly recommend this read.
