Book Title: Behind the Mask (3): The Bedside Diary of an Operating Room Nurse

Synopsis:

An operating room nurse who has always stood on the front lines of the battlefield of life faces her own defeat—she has fallen ill herself! And it is a tricky brain tumor. However, this tiny cranial bomb does not destroy her life. Facing a world-shattering adversity, despite the fear and anxiety, she ultimately confronts it with a positive attitude. Transforming from a healthcare professional into a patient, she accepts medical treatment and fights hard against the illness.

Interspersed throughout are the stories of other patients, including a female patient whose small intestine cannot peristalthe and someone suffering from multiple sclerosis. Through their stories, one feels the preciousness, the tragedy, and the joy of life, realizing how fortunate it is to have a healthy body, and that we must be grateful just for being alive.

The hospital is a very special place. You will unconditionally trust a complete stranger, and you will also help someone completely unrelated to you without expecting anything in return. There, you will witness all walks of life.

About the Author:

Cheuk Cheuk

A nurse and a typical Aries girl. Independent and persistent, she is stubborn and set in her ways. Changing schools and majors, getting a motorcycle license, moving out to live on her own, and backpacking through eleven European countries—it was hard work, but she tasted the sweetness in it. Looking back at the past, even she can hardly believe this is her own story. She is infatuated with all things vintage, old songs, old movies, and old memories, yet she craves a new life. Possessing the temperament of an artist without any artistic talent, she likes red because it looks like blood, roses because they have thorns, and black coffee because of its bitterness.
