《医院是座动物园》【内容简介】
这是一份独特的医院总值班日志,作者不是医生,不是病人,也不是家属,却以一个医院“局外人”的视角,写出了医院里的百态人生、万千世情,也写出了无数生死间的挣扎与彷徨。或许在病痛与生死的极端压力面前,人都会蜕化成动物:有人相信只要不检查,就等于没病,把自己活成了薛定谔的猫;一生勤恳如老牛者,却在绝症面前慨叹人生如此不值;重症监护室前等待遗嘱的家属,如同一群夺食的硕鼠;积劳成疾的顶梁柱,挣扎扑腾如案板上的鱼,却无人理睬……

Brief introduction of Knowledge Overload
Mexican writer Zaid wrote, "Mankind publishes a book every thirty seconds." How can the average reader keep up with the latest releases? Not to mention the numerous classics dating back to Homer and Plato. Even for the greatest bibliophiles, the prospect of publication is daunting. What's more, Zaid argues, people seem more interested in writing books than reading them (81 percent of Americans believe they should write books, according to a recent survey). Despite his frustration with the state of affairs, Zeid said one of the industry's strengths is its diversity. In the publishing industry, a book that attracts only a few thousand readers is likely to be published, whereas the commercial film industry and other mass media must operate almost entirely on a budget scale. This is a thought-provoking book, a meditation and observation on the development of publishing and literature in the early 21st century.
