Life and death in a modern hospital, from Seamus O'Mahony, the
award-winning author of The Way We Die Now and Can Medicine Be
Cured? Seamus O'Mahony charts the realities of work in the
'ministry of bodies', that huge complex where people come to be
cured and to die. From unexpected deaths to moral quandaries and
bureaucratic disasters, O'Mahony documents life in the halls and
wards that all of us will visit at some point in our lives with his
characteristic wit and dry and unsentimental intelligence. Absurd
general emails, vain and self-promoting specialists, the relentless
parade of self-destructive drinkers and drug users, the comical
expectations of baffled patients: this is not a conventional
medical memoir, but the collective biography of one of our great
modern institutions - the general hospital - through the eyes of a
brilliant writer, who happens to be a doctor.
