{"product_id":"vile-jelly-adrian-jarvis-9781960405470","title":"Vile Jelly: One Man's Journey with Medicines, Glaucoma and Cataracts","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Vile Jelly: One Man's Journey with Medicines, Glaucoma, and Cataracts, Dr Adrian Jarvis invites readers into a gripping, personal odyssey that begins with a heart-stopping moment in a car park. The author confronts the terrifying prospect of blindness as prescriptions vanish in a labyrinth of supply chain chaos. This isn't just a medical memoir; it's a raw exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and the human spirit, set against the backdrop of more-or-less functional healthcare systems, a global pandemic and the difficulties of living a normal life when dependent on a cocktail of medicines. With wit and candor, Jarvis navigates the panic of missed doses, the indifference of bureaucracy, and the haunting literary echoes of blindness-from Tiresias to Gloucester-while chasing a lifeline through a world of dwindling hope. Rich with vivid imagery, this narrative blends medical urgency with profound reflection, questioning what it means to see when sight itself hangs by a thread. This book is perfect for readers of health memoirs and literary nonfiction. Vile Jelly offers a poignant, eye-opening (pun intended) look at one man's fight to preserve his vision-and his humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Jarvis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960405470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960405470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stairway Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Adrian Jarvis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241950720255,"sku":"9781960405470","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2817ab32-2ccb-4aa6-80ff-7fceb9abe73b.jpg?v=1772656732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vile-jelly-adrian-jarvis-9781960405470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
