A Viral Maze

By Bertha Amarni

How can the hepatitis B virus embed itself in one's liver and remain hidden for more than four decades while unleashing multiple chronic illnesses on its host? Ask Bertha Amarni. By combining her obvious anguish about her affliction with a desire to tell her story courageously and with a light touch, Bertha Amarni manages to imbue her personal disaster with a compelling narrative - melancholic but full of insight and of hope. Her experience of missed clues and opportunities to properly diagnose her illness, disjointed medical care, damaging side effects from powerful prescribed drugs, but also some exceptional doctors and the wonder of Chinese traditional medicine, are all woven together in this rich tapestry of life experience. A very rewarding read.
