Real-life cases and practical advice are interwoven throughout a candid, compassionate narrative. What s revealed is a tender and profound portrait of a medical professional at the very centre of what matters a doctor who always adopts a humane, holistic view and who writes openly about the personal impact of a career in medicine. A must-read for any parent and a wonderful insight into the high-pressure medical world.
