Here is our review of Bill's book:

 

Husband and wife Bill and Gisela Williams were camping in the desert about 150 kilometres from Alice Springs when disaster struck. Gisela woke up with a thunderclap headache and started vomiting violently. Bill knew something was seriously wrong and as a general practitioner, he immediately began a process of elimination in trying to work out what was happening. Bill dismissed possible causes one by one before coming to a devastating conclusion – Gisela was having a stroke. Bill bundled Gisela into their van and headed to Alice Springs, all the while knowing that while they must get help as quickly as possible, even then nothing is guaranteed. Bleed is a cracking book - the rarest of things, an excellent story, very well told. Bill’s worst case scenario thinking is correct, Gisela has had a subarachnoid haemorrhage, and throughout this book, her survival is uncertain, her path rocky and her future quality of life unknown. Throughout their harrowing experience, Bill was able to use his medical knowledge to advocate effectively for Gisela. Bill’s medical expertise enables him to read his fellow health professionals and this is fascinating stuff. He can tell when a doctor’s confidence in his own diagnostic powers is not to be trusted, and can read the tension between the different teams treating Gisela. He works the system, but as with anyone suddenly compelled to become the decision maker and advocate for someone, there is self-doubt and guilt at times. The love between Bill and Gisela shines through this book, as does the love of their daughters. Bleed beautifully explores the connections between this family, of their love and care for each other, which make Bleed such a compelling read.
