Grief Connects Us - A Neurosurgeon's Lessons in Love, Loss, and Compassion (Paperback)

In his exceptionally thought-provoking and moving memoir,
neurosurgeon Joseph D. Stern explores how personal loss influences
the way physicians relate to patients and their families. How does
a doctor who deals with the death of patients on a regular basis
confront his own loss when his beloved family member is living out
her last days? Despite a career as a neurosurgeon, Joseph Stern
learned more about the nature of illness and death after his
younger sister Victoria developed leukemia than his formal medical
training ever taught him. Her death broke down the self-protective
barriers he had built to perform his job and led to a profound
shift in his approach to medicine. During the year of her illness,
Dr. Stern developed a greater awareness of the needs of patients
and their families; of the burdens they carry; of the importance of
connection, communication, and gratitude; and of what it means to
ask the right questions. Grief Connects Us intimately explores the
impact of personal loss on physicians and the ways in which they
integrate it into their professional lives, providing a blueprint
for change that places compassion and empathy at the centre of the
practice of medicine.
