Thomas's Friend Comments

Dear Thomas, I'm thrilled to have you as a Goodreads friend. I know you're a scientist, but I hope you believe in divine providence, because your "friendship" here is just that! Strange as it may sounds, I've been looking for you. I tried to reach you through you webpage, but you never responded. Here is the note I sent you in February, 2014: Dear Thomas, I'm writing to express my deep gratitude to you for your book on the Sulfa drug, The Demon Under the Microscope. I am someone whose life was saved by this drug. I've just completed a memoir, which begins with my 2 1/2 year old self as I lay in hospital dying (in 1941) from a streptococcus infection, pneumonia, and septicemia.

I had cut out a clipping that reviewed your book and put it in a "to read' file. Recently, i when through that file and found the review. What a wonderful journey you took me on. This is a beautifully written book! I learned so much about so many things regarding medicine, chemistry, tragedy, dedication, etc. Your book was full of intrigue, mystery, suspense, pain, suffering, joy and triumph. But mostly, I was in awe, and so moved by this story, and so very grateful to know the history of the drug that saved my life!!

Thank you, a thousand times, thank you,
Kathleen

Hi Thomas, thank you for the friending. You've written interesting books. I'm looking through their summaries.
