For anyone trying to understand the impossible strains placed on
our medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is
indispensable. _____________________________ 'A furious dispatch
from the front line of the hospital system.' THE TIMES, Book of the
Week _____________________________ Doctors are the people we turn
to in our darkest moments. We trust them with our lives. But what
does that stress do to a person? What does it take to confront
death, disease, distress and suffering every day? To work in a
healthcare system stretched to breaking point? To make decisions
that will change lives - or possibly end them? And how do doctors
cope with their own questions and fears, when they are expected to
have all the answers? Caroline Elton is a psychologist who, for two
decades, has specialised in helping doctors: the obstetrician whose
own fertility treatment failed; the trainee oncologist struggling
to face patients with the disease that killed her father; the
brilliant neurosurgeon whose career stalled in an environment
hostile to women; and many more. Drawing on extraordinary case
studies and decades of work supporting clinicians, Also Human
presents a provocative, perceptive and deeply humane examination of
the modern medical profession. _____________________________
'Written with perceptive sympathy for the wounded healer, it is
necessary reading for both doctors and patients.' HILARY MANTEL
'Crucial and timely.' ATUL GAWANDE 'Fascinating and troubling. Read
it and weep.' SUSIE ORBACH 'Haunting, beautiful and urgent.' JOHANN
HARI 'At the heart of this book is the problem of how emotional
resilience can be identified in prospective doctors and
strengthened in practising doctors. We are fallible human beings,
not omniscient gods.' HENRY MARSH, SUNDAY TIMES
