{"product_id":"9789811255434","title":"To Hear Again, to Sing Again: A Memoir by Ellis Douek, Ent Surgeon and Hearing Implant Pioneer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an autobiography of Ellis Douek, one of the pioneers of hearing implants, whose name lives on through the middle ear device Douek-MED™. Shedding light on the life of a surgeon from the early days of the UK National Health Service, it not only covers the highlights of Douek's medical career but also contains sensational, no-holds-barred tales of his interactions from ordinary patients to well-known singers, kings, emperors and dictators. We read about a social dinner-turned-mass consultation session for the entire Cabinet; using an innovative hearing test to expose a financial scam; a wife who dumped her loyal husband after being cured; a curious encounter with Michael Jackson; and not getting paid by Gaddafi's staff, causing an epic coup by the Libyan dictator on his own embassy. It is at once unflinching and compassionate, offering a searingly honest firsthand account of his trailblazing journey to leave a mark in history.Blending pioneering research and a unique episodic storytelling approach, To Hear Again, To Sing Again is a profound reflection on the relationship between doctor and patient, and one man's quest to make a difference in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48844946931947,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":87.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9789811255434-1.jpg?v=1781771087","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9789811255434","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
