Review: Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers is a Book that Matters - If you're looking for a book that matters, you’ll certainly want to read this excellent memoir by Vanessa Grubbs, a medical doctor: When Vanessa first meets Robert, a board member at the hospital where she works, she doesn’t even like the dude; he’s too cocky and too light-skinned for her taste. But pretty soon their relationship—and the book—develops into a page-turning romance. Next thing you know, Vanessa offers Robert one of her kidneys. You see, Robert has suffered renal failure and has been on dialysis for years by the time he and Vanessa meet. Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers is not only a great love story but also an excellent source of information about kidney disease. Even after my father died of renal failure 5 years ago, I knew very little about the disease and about dialysis until I read this book. I found Chapter 18 particularly important, especially its insights about when dialysis might be appropriate and when it probably is not (even if readily available, free of charge, as in the U.S). As I read, I especially appreciated the honesty and sensitivity with which that very tough chapter and the entire book is written. Thank you, Vanessa Grubbs. I highly recommend this memoir to readers of all interests and tastes.
Review: A love story with medical guidance for all of us - Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers had me hooked from the first chapter. This is a love story with a plot twist. Boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, girl falls for boy, girl gives boy a kidney. There’s true love and sacrifice, and that’s just the beginning. Vanessa Grubbs’ story is both romantic and illuminating. I felt compelled to keep reading and learn about kidneys, a subject I wouldn’t ordinarily care about, because I wanted to know what happened to Vanessa and Robert. Grubbs reveals her personal story as a kidney donor to her now-husband to educate us about everything kidney, an organ that often goes unappreciated until it’s too late. Her straightforward non-medical language demystifies this complicated subject and makes it easy for the non-medical person, like me, to comprehend. She’s the same reliable and plainspoken narrator whether she’s describing her relationship with Robert or she’s explaining the differences between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Grubbs doesn’t hesitate to address critical issues surrounding racial biases in kidney transplant allocation and treatment. I can’t help but think about the many biases against anyone outside the “norm” (people of color, people with disabilities, people who don’t speak English, the poor) that pervade our current medical system, often with devastating outcomes. Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers is not just for people who have kidney disease. This book is for anyone who is or who cares about someone at risk for kidney problems. Questions about risk? Grubbs answers our frequently asked questions and provides resources if you need more information. Of course, this book is also for those of us who want to read a true story about love and devotion. You don’t have to be on the receiving end of medicine to appreciate Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers. This is a book for health care professionals, too. Grubbs is a physician who engages with her patients, their families, their lifestyles, not just their kidneys. In some cases, she knows more about her patients than their own families. This is how medicine should be practiced.
