This audio book is an author’s self-portrait: a physician who is not indifferent to his work, presented as a collection of essays containing real stories from his life and medical practice. A surgeon with 33 years of experience shares his perspective on the profession, the hospital, colleagues, and patients. He observes that being an angel in his round-the-clock, exhausting work of helping people is no easy task—and rather a statement than a complaint. The audio book invites you into a closed-off world of the hospital, where pain and joy, tears and laughter, despair and miracle always coexist. This world is shown without embellishment, and our guide is a doctor who genuinely cares about every patient.
