"What is your pain level on a scale of 1 to 10, where zero would be no pain, and 10 would be if you had an attack of kidney stones while in active labor, and while all that was going on, you were set on fire. Starting with your genitals. And then you were disemboweled, and the bowels that were removed were then also set on fire. And then while you were running around in active labor, passing a kidney stone, on fire with your bowels also on fire, you accidentally stepped on a Lego with your bare foot. And that Lego was also on fire." "It''s an 11." Medicine can be funny. It can be sad, painful, inspirational, but also sometimes funny. "11 out of 10" is a collection of humorous medical stories from practitioners in all fields, ranging from physicians to nurses to EMTs to medical students. Some are totally true, some are exaggerated, and some are mostly fiction. But every single one of them aims to put a smile on your face. All profits from this book will be donated to Deworm the World Initiative, a charity that aims to treat parasitic infections in children in developing nations.

There''s a reason Southside Medical School has been nicknamed "Suicide Med." For the last six years, every year one student has taken his own life. Except for last year. Last year was a murder-suicide. The press has pointed to the heavy workload as the culprit in the high suicide rate. Some students believe that the school is cursed. And others believe that the deaths may not be suicides at all-that it''s no coincidence that Dr. Conlon, Southside''s quirky but beloved anatomy professor, joined the staff on the very year that the suicides began. Either way, the same question echoes through the minds of every first year student at Suicide Med: Who will be next to die?

When Alyssa becomes absolutely hell-bent on making her new interns pay tenfold for the deadly sin of incompetence, Jane starts to worry that she may not make it through the year with her soul or her sanity still intact.

O FENÓMENO LITERÁRIO INTERNACIONAL Cinco anos após os acontecimentos de A Criada, Millie pensa que pode construir uma vida «normal», formando-se como assistente social e trabalhando para outra família rica... mas está muito enganada! MISTERIOSO, INTENSO E VICIANTE COMO UM VERDADEIRO THRILLER DEVE SER! «Millie, nunca entre no quarto de hóspedes...» Uma sombra abate-se sobre o rosto de Douglas Garrick ao tocar na porta do quarto com a ponta dos dedos. «É que... a minha mulher... está muito doente». Enquanto me continua a mostrar o seu incrível apartamento penthouse num dos prédios mais vistosos da cidade, tenho um pressentimento terrível sobre a mulher fechada naquele quarto. Mas não posso arriscar-me a perder este emprego – pelo menos se quiser continuar a manter o meu segredo. É difícil encontrar empregadores que não façam muitas perguntas, especialmente sobre o passado. Nesse aspeto, agradeço a sorte de os Garrick me terem contratado. Posso trabalhar aqui durante algum tempo, ficar sossegada até conseguir o que quero. Arrumar e limpar a sua deslumbrante penthouse de vista panorâmica sobre a cidade e preparar-lhes refeições sofisticadas na sua cozinha reluzente. O emprego quase perfeito. Só ainda não conheci a Sra. Garrick, nem espreitei o quarto de hóspedes. Tenho a certeza que a ouço chorar às vezes. Também já reparei em manchas de sangue na gola das suas camisas de dormir quando estou a lavar a roupa. Um dia, não consigo evitar bater à porta. E, quando se abre suavemente, o que vejo lá dentro muda tudo...

Na verdade, as duas não foram sequer apresentadas. E Millie tem certeza de que já a ouviu chorando. Certo dia, ao colocar a roupa para lavar, ela vê manchas de sangue na camisola da mulher. Não é a primeira vez, e Millie decide descobrir o que está acontecendo. Quando finalmente consegue entrar no quarto, o que vê lá dentro muda todos os seus planos. Alguém precisa pagar.
