{"product_id":"9780692288764","title":"A Short Life","description":"Jim Slotnick entered medical school in 1981 with his sights set on a career as a “country doctor,” catering to those with limited access to quality health care. Within twelve months, however, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. What followed was an odyssey of dealing with the health care system and its practitioners, the increasing limitations and challenges of a fatal disease and Jim's own mortality staring him in the face. Through it all, he wrote. Jim's stunningly compassionate, funny and hard hitting account of life will amaze you. A Short Life provides remarkable insight into being both a doctor and a patient, and is a simple, beautiful story of a young man growing up.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elm Drive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126154084592,"sku":"9780692288764","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692288764_p0.jpg?v=1763610190","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692288764","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
