By the bestselling author of Cutting for Stone, a story of medicine in the American heartland, and confronting one's deepest prejudices and fears. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee, the town of Johnson City had always seemed exempt from the anxieties of modern American life. But when the local hospital treated its first AIDS patient, a crisis that had once seemed an "urban problem" had arrived in the town to stay. Working in Johnson City was Abraham Verghese, a young Indian doctor specializing in infectious diseases. Dr. Verghese became by necessity the local AIDS expert, soon besieged by a shocking number of male and female patients whose stories came to occupy his mind, and even take over his life. Verghese brought a singular perspective to Johnson City: as a doctor unique in his abilities; as an outsider who could talk to people suspicious of local practitioners; above all, as a writer of grace and compassion who saw that what was happening in this conservative community was both a medical and a spiritual emergency.Binding Type: Paperback

Great pillows, needs more filler tho!
Size: King Size Pack of 2, Color: White
Partner says it's the best thing that's ever happened and has helped his back/shoulder pain tremendously. I personally think it needs to give you more fluff or whatever the filling is. Because the tiny bag that comes btwn the two was not enough! However, still comfy, filling is nice and fluffy like a cloud.

Takes a few minutes to fluff up and inflate after opening. Nice fabric. One side is bamboo and one side is cooling. Looks high quality.

Love them!!

Ok I normally don't leave reviews but I had to on this pillow. I was looking forever for a pillow and was nervous about buying one because you know how that usually goes when it comes to buying pillows. They arrived compressed but when you unwrap them they blow up to be a heavy duty pillow. Firm but not too firm. I don't like super soft pillows that you can roll up in a ball with one hand, I like a pillow that gives support and these do just that. They are cooling as well they are pretty for a pillow with the unique design. If you are in the market for a pillow and reading this THEN BUY THIS PILLOW & come back to tell me thank you. I promise you will NOT be disappointed. No I didn't get paid to say any of this. I wanted to give a honest review where it deserves one! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for the fast over night shipping as well. Not to mention the pricing is on point. I can say right now you will not find 2 pillows of this quality & price.
