A book from Dr Porntip

Heard about this book by Dr Porntip of Thailand a couple of months ago , and was waiting to get a copy.

First saw Dr Porntip on TV when we were in Bangkok , Dec 2004 , just before the Tsunami. I was captivated by her . She was not pretty . With her punky hairstyle, coloured hair, rugged style , she was outstanding in a group of medical personels and police. She was different !

That was a first time I thought : who said a doctor must be dull ? She is fashionably advance ! And she is not just a doctor , she is a forensic pathologist ! She works like those in CSI !

So when I read about this book, I know I must get it. And of course I did .

This book sheds light on her career, and difficulties she faced in setting up a proper Forensic team in Thailand . She was courageous as a female in the male dominated society.

And of course , she is a Buddhist and keeping in mind the Buddha's teachings as she said.
