Elton, Caroline
Also human : the inner lives of doctors - Unabridged ed. - [London] Cornerstone Digital 2018
Downloadable eAudiobook. Non fiction. Adult. Duration: 09:25:00.
Remote Random House presents the audiobook edition of Also Human by Caroline Elton, read by Rachel Bavidge. What does it take to confront death, disease, distress and suffering every day? To work in a healthcare system that is stretched to breaking point? To carry the responsibility of making decisions that can irrevocably change someone?s life - or possibly end it? 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 specialises in helping doctors. For over twenty years she has listened as doctors have unburdened themselves of the pressures of their jobs: the obstetrician whose own fertility treatment failed; the trainee oncologist who found herself unable to treat patients suffering from the disease that killed her father; the brilliant neurosurgeon struggling to progress her career in an environment that was hostile to women. 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. 'Crucial and timely.' Atul Gawande 'Haunting, beautiful and urgent.' Johann Hari. Mode of access: World Wide Web. [electronic resource] / Playing time: 092500 Read by Rachel Bavidge.
