{"product_id":"the-silent-patient-a-true-story","title":"The Silent Patient: A True Story","description":"I was in my thirties when I attended nursing school, and I took the year-long crash course to get it over with as a LPN (licensed practical nurse). I was blessed to be able to cram the crash course in a year. I was particularly nervous when I had to take the state board exam to determine my becoming a nurse. After studying so hard for a complete year, I wasn't sure if I would pass the state board exam. But I did pass the test, and I was so thankful to Jesus for this, for allowing me to pass the first time I took the exam.\nPrior to me going to nursing school and during nursing school, people and some family members were telling me that studying to be a nurse was not going to be easy and that it was going to be hard. There were even statements that I wouldn't graduate, also gossip that I would drop out. I stayed away from those type of people with negativity and waiting for my failure. Readers, remember, the only thing that beats a failure is a trier, and as long as one tries, then you're not a failure because at least you tried.\nAfter retiring as a nurse, an 8-mm aneurysm was discovered in my brain. I died during brain surgery, and now I know there is life after death. Even though I wanted to stay in the arms of God and not return to my body, He sent me back anyway 'cause it wasn't my time yet. I will never forget the wonderful experience being with the Lord. That's why I wanted to stay because of the joy and happiness. I titled this book The Silent Patient 'cause when my spirit returned back into my body--I was in a coma for a week--I was told that I couldn't speak, but I could hear my visitors and could hear the health care staff. I just couldn't speak or respond. I had to fight all my life, and now I had to fight to come out of a coma. I've been diagnosed with another brain aneurysm, but life goes on and live it to its fullest.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1640826033\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1640826033.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jamison, Darlene\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43098946142269,"sku":"BVV.1640826033.VG","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1640826033-0.jpg?v=1775855147","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-silent-patient-a-true-story","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
