Death comes with a tomato. Lavrova S.A.

This is a completely realistic book, the stories of the everyday life of the neurosurgical department of the oncological center are interspersed with “live” conversations in the operating room, which the author - neurophysiologist, specialist in intraoperative monitoring - he has been hearing for almost twenty years. The heroes - neurosurgeons, resuscitators are realized by the realist. , medical sisters, real situations, real methods are real (a work of art about intraoperative monitoring has not yet been in domestic literature). Unfortunately, diseases are more than real - mainly tumors of the brain. The only feature with a powerful ninth rampart takes this book on a shelf with science fiction: one of the characters is death. Not a phenomenon, but a creature. But by the way. And this character does not make the book implausible, because what can be more real than death in life? It seems that with such a character and in such an entourage, the story should be heavy, even tragic. But the narrative turned out to be light and rather funny than sad, and this is not blasphemy, but reality. Life is beautiful, and it, as it can, triumphs over death even in this difficult atmosphere. And doctors help her - too as they can, they are not gods.
