How does it feel to confront a pandemic from the inside, one
patient at a time? To bridge the gulf between a perilously unwell
patient in quarantine and their distraught family outside? To be
uncertain whether the protective equipment you wear fits the
science or the size of the government stockpile? To strive your
utmost to maintain your humanity even while barricaded behind
visors and masks? Rachel is a palliative care doctor who looked
after the most gravely unwell patients on the Covid-19 wards of her
hospital. Amid the tensions, fatigue and rising death toll, she
witnessed the courage of patients and NHS staff alike in conditions
of unprecedented adversity. For all the bleakness and fear, she
found that moments that could stop you in your tracks abounded.
People who rose to their best, upon facing the worst, as a microbe
laid waste to the population. Her new book, Breathtaking, is an
unflinching insider's account of medicine in the time of
coronavirus. Drawing on testimony from nursing, acute and intensive
care colleagues - as well as, crucially, her patients - Clarke
argue that this age of contagion has inspired a profound
attentiveness to - and gratitude for - what matters most in life.
