The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller 'Brave, compassionate and
inspiring - it left me in floods of tears' Adam Kay, author of This
Is Going to Hurt For more than twenty-five years, David Nott has
taken unpaid leave from his job as a general and vascular surgeon
with the NHS to volunteer in some of the world's most dangerous war
zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993, to clandestine hospitals
in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out life-saving
operations and field surgery in the most challenging conditions,
and with none of the resources of a major London teaching hospital.
The conflicts he has worked in form a chronology of
twenty-first-century combat: Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Liberia,
Darfur, Congo, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Gaza and Syria. But he has also
volunteered in areas blighted by natural disasters, such as the
earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal. Driven both by compassion and
passion, the desire to help others and the thrill of extreme
personal danger, he is now widely acknowledged to be the most
experienced trauma surgeon in the world. But as time went on, David
Nott began to realize that flying into a catastrophe - whether war
or natural disaster - was not enough. Doctors on the ground needed
to learn how to treat the appalling injuries that war inflicts upon
its victims. Since 2015, the foundation he set up with his wife,
Elly, has disseminated the knowledge he has gained, training other
doctors in the art of saving lives threatened by bombs and bullets.
War Doctor is his extraordinary story.
