Description:
In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor”and the poor suffer from their mistakes.
Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town's medical system.
In a free clinic where the motto is "All Are Welcome Here," she learns how to practice medicine with love and tenacity amidst the raging injustices of a system that favors the rich and the white. No Apparent Distress is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor's coming-of-age.

Awesome Anniversary Gift
I got this for my husband for our 25th silver anniversary because it is partly silver. I think it is a beautiful watch especially for the price. I think he can wear it for everyday at work and not worry about breaking it or losing it and still look classy.

Unique Couple Watch Set
It's a well-made pair of watches, perfect for you and a partner or as a gift for your friends!
It comes in a presentable little box that closes magnetically with a heart-shaped white clasp, contrasting the red box, allowing for a highly giftable gift with little effort required when it comes to packaging.
The watches themselves are stunning, with extreme attention to detail everywhere you look, whether it's beveled edges or even a crown emblem on the watch's crown.
The crystal of the watches takes a unique approach and stylistically protrudes from the watch face, resembling a toned-down pavilion and culet of a diamond.
Both watches do a great job pairing each other, and the smaller watch is different from what you'd expect, as there's effort put into its design instead of making a gimmicky downscale of the bigger watch.
Overall, they're a great pair of watches that serve as a great gift for partners to match wristwatches, and my only complaint is the male watch's band size, as out of the box it easily fits around my ankle, although adjusting the links was a breeze thanks to the provided tools.
