In 1973 she obtained her medical degree and in 1976 her master's in occupational medicine at the University of Singapore. She was silver medallist for her undergrad, and gold medallist for her master's. She joined her husband in exile in London in 1977, and became a refugee herself.

Seorang wanita mungil asal Asia Tenggara nekat bekerja di antara dentuman bom Israel di kamp-kamp pengungsi Palestina. Menjadi tim kesehatan ‘tidak resmi’, dokter ahli bedah tulang ini menyaksikan bahwa banyak relawan ‘resmi’ Palang Merah Internasional yang bahkan tidak cukup terlindungi dan akhirnya mati akibat perang.
Tokoh kita ini tidak takut mati. Naluri keibuan membuatnya ingin melindungi dan memberi harapan bagi mereka yang lemah. Membaca buku ini, kita diajak untuk menyimak langsung kondisi di TKP, bukan dari para peninjau, tetapi langsung dari orang lapangan.
Ini buku saya baca pada peringatan Hari Kartini kemarin.

Buku yang amat menarik. Dr Swee menulisnya dengan teliti dalam memperincikan setiap peristiwa yang beliau lalui bersama masyarakat Palestin. Perlu dibaca untuk benar-benar menjiwai apa sebenarnya yang berlaku di sana. Apa yang disiarkan oleh media terlalu sedikit.
Saya percaya ada lagi buku-buku catatan peribadi seperti ini yang berkaitan dengan topik yang sama. Saya teruja untuk mencari hasil-hasil tulisan yang lain. Namun dalam masa yang sama, saya berfikir, apa yang saya boleh lakukan untuk mereka?

"Di Yad Vashem, aku menonton sebuah film tentang bagaimana Nazi mengindoktrinasi anggotanya dengan semangat anti-Yahudi. Nazi menganggap bangsa Yahudi sebagai ras yang lebih rendah dari manusia. Sebagian tentara Israel kini menganggap orang-orang Arab sebagai makhluk yang lebih rendah dari manusia. Mengapa mereka tidak belajar dari masa lalu? Apakah upaya menciptakan sebuah rumah bagi para korban penganiayaan Nazi dan rasialisme Eropa harus menimbulkan penderitaan orang-orang lain, yaitu rakyat Palestina?"

For me this book was amazing! Totally amazing!
The condition of my brothers and sisters in Palestine, Lebanon were just headlines before I read this book. After reading this book, I keep questioning how on earth could something so cruel happen in this world?
This book gave me a great picture of how Palestinians had to live their lives. I totally admire the women in this book. How they were all brave, smart, and kind-hearted.
Totally a must read book for girls, women, muslims, peace-lovers... This book would make you more thankful for your peaceful life also would've push you to give the best of your life. At least that's what this book has done to me.
