Genetics Peril


"MLD was a strange and unfamiliar word within Mohamad and Kamariah's household. But when this enemy took away their eldest daughter's life, they were taken by surprise. From that day onwards, they did not know it the, so things began to get worse.

They were totally unprepared when further tests showed that all their five children had symptoms of dreaded genetic disease. All was not lost, however, for there was a cure but the cost was tremendously high. They were devastated.

It was an endurance test for the family; every minutes mattered, every cent counted, every prayer appreciated. Their plight caught the nation's attention and everyone shared their miseries. It was a suffering like no other; a struggle that was to last more than twenty years!

Share with them this touching and unforgettable experience. For this is a story where we can reflect our own lives, and the true meaning of love.

What lies ahead, no one really knows..."

I've finished reading this book...truly recommended this. Seriously for someone who really, really hate to read even for the academic purpose, it is hard to finish a book what else a novel (I've never finished reading any novel before). One must wonder how on earth that I became a medical student...haha. In life, there a so many ways to study other than diligently reading books. (Hey I do read books ok!)

I amaze on how parental love could do and how the love turned into extraordinary willpower and patience. When I read this book, I wonder if I could act as what Dr. Imran has done to his patients....may ALLAH guides my path.

Currently trying to find the original Malay version of it, Zuriat.
