RESUMO
Dr. Wahid Ali has spent a long and useful life, almost two decades of which were dedicated to public service. This book is a further contribution to that life of public service in that it gives a detailed account of the symptoms and effects of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a disease which so few of us know about. This account is also, sadly, a reflection of the inadequacy of health care in our society. That Dr. Ali was able to emerge alive and well after the attack seems surely the result of his position in the society, and his ability to afford health care at the best institutions. He makes constant reference to this inequality. This autobiography demonstrates quite clearly the close link between the spirit and the physical being. It shows how positive thinking can affect the physical well-being of our human persons. The book recommends itself as a serious reflection of the condition of our lives in this place as we seek to create a new culture out of the diverse elements of this New World (Dr. Brinsley Samaroo-back cover)
