Actually my book talk to much about cardiology, they have many new words. However, beside the patient, the author told me the emotion of a medical student. Some time it was boring, but I tried to read it and understand it.

I have been interested in cardiology since I saw a medical drama. That's why I chose to write a comment on this summary. Also, I like Christmas very much, so I wondered what is the story of this book.
I thought Nathan was depressed during his first practice. He saw a death and patient who has a heart problem.
There are many people who has a physical and mental problem. However, we can't fix some disease unfortunately. It makes me sad and disappointed.
I hope that Nathan will work very hard to fix health problem for people who live all over the world.
I want to know why this book title is The Christmas blessing.
