Produktinformationen "Vile Jelly"
In Vile Jelly: One Man's Journey with Medicines, Glaucoma, and Cataracts, Dr Adrian Jarvis invites readers into a gripping, personal odyssey that begins with a heart-stopping moment in a car park. The author confronts the terrifying prospect of blindness as prescriptions vanish in a labyrinth of supply chain chaos. This isn't just a medical memoir; it's a raw exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and the human spirit, set against the backdrop of more-or-less functional healthcare systems, a global pandemic and the difficulties of living a normal life when dependent on a cocktail of medicines. With wit and candor, Jarvis navigates the panic of missed doses, the indifference of bureaucracy, and the haunting literary echoes of blindness-from Tiresias to Gloucester-while chasing a lifeline through a world of dwindling hope. Rich with vivid imagery, this narrative blends medical urgency with profound reflection, questioning what it means to see when sight itself hangs by a thread. This book is perfect for readers of health memoirs and literary nonfiction. Vile Jelly offers a poignant, eye-opening (pun intended) look at one man's fight to preserve his vision-and his humanity.
