Also Human: The Inner Lives of Doctors

by Caroline Elton - £9.99  Ebury Publishing (2019)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780099510796 | ISBN 10: 0099510790

Doctors are the people we turn to in our darkest moments. We trust them with our lives. But what does that stress do to a person?
 
What does it take to confront death, disease, distress and suffering every day? To work in a healthcare system stretched to breaking point? To make decisions that will change lives – or possibly end them? 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, for two decades, has specialised in helping doctors: the obstetrician whose own fertility treatment failed; the trainee oncologist struggling to face patients with the disease that killed her father; the brilliant neurosurgeon whose career stalled in an environment hostile to women; and many more.
 
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.
