Book Cover & Preview Text
...I had a condition common in end stage liver patients called encepholopathy. This is a condition caused by the liver's reduced ability to eliminate toxins from the body, causing elevated ammonia levels. Symptoms include shaky hands, memory loss, confusion, inability to concentrate,poor eye focusing,coma, and probably others I can't recall. A very serious condition not to be taken lightly. Dr Reily was surprised I was still working full time, appparently someone with a case as advanced as mine isn't typically able to work. I mentioned I really didn't have a choice because we needed the money. What the hell else was I supposed to do?
