Description
What do doctors feel when they save people’s lives? Joanna Cannon, the author of this book and a psychiatrist, isn’t afraid to talk about her own vulnerability and about mistakes she has made. To do this, she will take you through hospital wards and tell you about the patients she has met in the course of her work. Each of her stories clearly shows that patients and doctors are also people who deserve respect and compassion—and it calls for treating each other humanely. Medicine is not limited to scalpels and defibrillators; the author explains how important it is to be with a dying patient in the last hours of their life, and how often a single correctly or incorrectly chosen word can play a huge role in a patient’s well-being. Despite all the obstacles that sometimes seemed insurmountable to Joanna, she still stayed in medicine, finding a specialty that turned out to be her calling.
