'A sensitive, honest, unsentimental and, yes, brave piece of
writing that makes for compulsive reading' Nigella Lawson Grief.
Anger. Joy. Fear. Distraction. Disgust. Hope. All emotions we
expect to encounter over our lifetime. But what if this was every
day? And what if your ability to manage them was the difference
between life and death? For a doctor in Intensive Care this is part
of the job. Fear in the eyes of a terminally ill patient who pleads
with you to not let them die. Grief when you make a potentially
fatal mistake. Disgust at caring for a convicted rapist. But there
are also moments of joy, like the rare bright spots of lucidity for
a dementia patient, or when the ward unexpectedly breaks into song.
Dr Aoife Abbey shows us what a doctor sees of humanity as it comes
through the revolving door of the hospital and takes us beyond a
purely medical perspective. Told through seven emotions, Seven
Signs of Life is about what it means to be alive and how it feels
to care for a living.
