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$963 What does it take to confront death, disease, distress and suffering every day$964 To work in a healthcare system stretched to breaking point$965 To make decisions that will change lives - or possibly end them$966 And how do doctors cope with their own questions and fears, when they are expected to have all the answers$967 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.
