The shoe on the roof is a true story of a patient named Maria in 1977. If you are curious about near death experiences google can give you details. For some people there would never be enough proof. This is one of those books that I thought about when I couldn't be reading it. Science, big pharma, ethics, spirituality and mental health issues- many big issues bravely taken on. I had no problem with the medical terms- they were appropriate to the story and yes there is sadness but I'm guessing the real world of people living on the fringe is much worse. I couldn't help but compare this book with Ann Patchett's State of Wonder, another book I had a hard time putting down. https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/show/612491026
