An Unexpected Twist by Andy Borowitz

A darkly comic memoir of a sudden, life-threatening intestinal blockage that propels the narrator from routine discomfort into ER chaos, conflicting diagnoses, and emergency surgery, told with brisk wit and candid self-reflection. As pain and fear collide with the absurdities of modern medicine, he discovers deep gratitude for skilled caregivers and the steadfast support of his spouse, emerging with a renewed appreciation for mortality, marriage, and the everyday mercies that make survival feel miraculous.
