They have great salads, and grilled chicken — both of which fits the bill for my tastebuds, then coupled with their fresh tangy lemonade, we leave there full and refreshed. Chick-fil-A is a Christian based restaurant, and while dining there you will hear the melodies of contemporary Christian music playing through the sound system. Standing in a Chick-fil-A two weeks ago, while waiting for a refill on my favorite lemonade, I noticed a plaque on the wall. In our world, the phrase I am third is not associated with winning, sure in the Olympics third place gets you a bronze metal, but not much else.

After all, first place gets all the recognition and rewards thereby associated with the honor. We love our first place teams, we love the first place blue ribbon for best of show, we make the biggest and shiniest trophies for the first place finishers. Almost no one remembers the third place winner, after all they may have been good, but not good enough. Nope, I concluded, not very many people want to be third. So why would my beloved Chick-fil-A have a plaque on their wall, engraved with the names of their workers that are recognized for being third?
I asked one of the managers about this plaque, and she told me a story.
It was a great honor to receive this award, and the impact of this particular award stayed with Cathy for the remainder of his life. These five years out, his calendar is loaded with speaking events, and his wife Vicky goes with him. The Persichettis want to change that.

He also is one of close to current and former patients who are helping leaders and staff at Emory Healthcare improve the health system. The decision to involve patients can be tricky, Persichetti says, "because you have to listen to people who not only had a good experience but also to people who didn't have a good trip. In one area, for example, Persichetti is helping Emory nurses tweak bedside reporting procedures at shift change. He reminds them that even though patients may be unable to respond, they can still hear and see. He also reminds the nurses to bring the spouse into the process.
The patient is in the bed getting all the attention, but the spouse needs to be brought into the center too. While I'm waiting for a heart, I need my wife and kids close to me. Family is as important as the medicine you give me. Persichetti suggested that more frequent updates be provided to patients in the laboratory waiting room on the sixth floor at Emory University Hospital, a place he knows intimately from having spent so much time there.

Now, standard operating procedure is to have a nurse come out to update patients if their wait time extends beyond 20 minutes, and a new bulletin board gives patients additional information on upcoming health events like screenings or flu shots. Persichetti also has visited many areas within Emory Healthcare in his role as patient advocate. He and his new heart willingly go wherever he is invited. Recently, he toured the labs to meet the technicians that process hundreds of vials of blood each day. He was there to remind them that they hold someone's life in their hands, that each vial of blood belongs to a person, that the work they do—although behind the scenes and sometimes unglamorous or under-recognized—is important.

Maybe it's par for the course with the subject matter it contains, but I felt there was a depressing air hanging over the whole story. This took me awhile to get into.
It does start quite slowly however it soon improved. It was quite strange and unsettling. It has a slightly SF setting and it was unexpectedly different and original. I really liked the writing style and it actually made me think on a few occasions.

It works well as a thriller and as speculative fiction. This book kept me glued all the way through, couldn't put it down for a minute. The narrative is amazing and this book is equally likely to leave you laughing, crying and looking within yourself. Steve is obviously an up and coming new talent in British fiction. I'm looking forward to his next book immensely.
