Dr Joan Louwrens was always drawn to wild places, which were
balm to her soul. When her husband died, leaving her alone with
two small daughters to raise, she threw herself wholeheartedly into
‘adventure medicine’, seeking out the world’s most remote corners
– on land and at sea – to practise her healing, both her own and
others.
Working in wild places from the Kruger Park to the Australian
Outback, the Atlantic Ocean islands, and both the south and north
poles, ‘Doctor Joan’ dealt with a vast range of medical issues, from
rabies to deep-vein thrombosis, childbirth to wisdom-tooth
extraction, catatonia to depression.
Showing an eagerness to learn and a humility that isn’t always a
given in her profession, and with a wry eye and a sympathetic
outlook, Joan Louwrens has written a memoir that’s a poignant and
often funny story of a life lived to the full

Routine denial and the downplaying of harm should have no place in
medicine but it is an institutional attitude and policy in the UK.
The Department of Health and the MHRA play politics with people's
lives. There is no doubt that the defence and underestimation of
past harm, allows the continuation of a system which will produce
more avoidable injury in the future. The author campaigns for drug
safety and a change in the system where no one is held accountable
and the victims are left to fend for themselves.
FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF DEAR LIFE 'I am a
junior doctor. It is 4 a.m. I have run arrest calls, treated
life-threatening bleeding, held the hand of a young woman dying of
cancer, scuttled down miles of dim corridors wanting to sob with
sheer exhaustion, forgotten to eat, forgotten to drink, drawn on
every fibre of strength that I possess to keep my patients safe
from harm.' How does it feel to be spat out of medical school into
a world of pain, loss and trauma that you feel wholly ill-equipped
to handle? To be a medical novice who makes decisions which - if
you get them wrong - might forever alter, or end, a person's life?
In Your Life in My Hands, television journalist turned junior
doctor Rachel Clarke captures the extraordinary realities of life
on the NHS frontline. During the historic junior doctor strikes of
2016, Rachel was at the forefront of the campaign against the
government's imposed contract upon young doctors. Her heartfelt,
deeply personal account of life as a junior doctor in today's NHS
is both a powerful polemic on the degradation of Britain's most
vital public institution and a love letter of optimism and hope to
that same health service.
