Breaking and mending

Description

"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 world. In a profession where weakness remains a taboo, this moving, beautifully written book brings to life the vivid human stories of doctors, patients and the hospital – and shows us why we need to take better care of those who care for us.”--Provided by Publisher.
