'ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOKS YOU WILL EVER READ' KATE MOSSE
IN THIS POWERFUL MEMOIR, JOANNA CANNON TELLS HER STORY AS A JUNIOR
DOCTOR IN VISCERAL, HEART-RENDING SNAPSHOTS.
We walk with her through the wards, facing extraordinary and daunting
moments: from attending her first post-mortem, sitting with a patient
through their final moments, to learning the power of a well- or badly
chosen word. These moments, and the small sustaining acts of kindness
and connection that punctuate hospital life, teach her that emotional
care and mental health can be just as critical as restoring a
heartbeat.
In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, this moving,
beautifully written book brings to life the vivid, human stories of
doctors and patients - and shows us why we need to take better care of
those who care for us.
