Reseña del libro "Even Doctors Cry: Love, Death, Scandal and a Terribly Flawed Medical System (en Inglés)"
Even Doctors Cry tells the story of Dr. Alvin Reiter, a successful Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, his love for his profession and pride in his work. ''I always felt like Clark Kent putting on my surgical outfit, '' Reiter wrote about his transformative role. Then came a time when even Superman could not help. In 1994, Alvin was diagnosed with incurable Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and given less than a 40% chance of living 6 years, while his wife Karen was diagnosed with early breast cancer in 1999 and given a 95% chance of total cure. The doctor survived, but Karen did not. She died of metastatic breast cancer in May 2003. Her premature death was aided and abetted by her oncologist, breast and liver surgeons and the gross failure of the medical system in which human error, negligence and hubris can, and did, take a life. The facts are chilling and irrefutable. In the midst of Karen's struggle for life, Reiter became the pawn of some of his ''respected'' colleagues as part of an FBI investigation. Faced with the onset of Karen's disease, he was forced to reevaluate his place in the medical establishment. Up until the time of her illness, he had been living for his surgery, his patients, his wife, their cats and their garden. Sadly, his paradise was a fool's paradise. He had not idea what evil lurked under the Southern California sun.
