Product Information

To be a surgeon is to stand, without flinching, in the sea of human suffering and use one's entire resource of knowledge, skill and intelligence to battle it. An intern makes his first cut and is ridiculed by his tutor. An old woman is brought back to life against her will, only for the unexpected to strike a week later. A notorious surgeon is driven crazy by a massive brain tumour. The mother of a leukemia-ridden child is driven to desperation In this compelling and beautifully written impressionistic memoir, Mohamed Khadra recounts stories from his life as a surgeon, from the gruelling years of training to the debilitating sleepless nights on call. He looks back at the doctors and patients who shaped his career; at the endless stream of humanity - courageous, pitiful, admirable and dislikable - who passed under his knife, as he recalls shocking tales of mistakes in theatre and the shattered lives of doctors defeated by the stresses of the job. Documenting the damaging politics in our healthcare system, the soul-destroying choices made for patients and the misplaced hope so common in the face of death, his dramatic account of a surgical life shows what happens when extraord

    Thanks for the book. Finally arrived today! Took a month from order, partly because seller was away till the 30th April, took another few days to post, then the good old Aussie post took 2 weeks more. Did email seller to let them know it still hadn't arrived and would leave feedback when it did. No response.

    This item (book) was sent in a trackable large envelope but not one of my three emails asking for a tracking number was answered. Although the book is in good condition, it was also described as being 'signed by the author': it is not. It arrived today, the latest date suggested, nine days after purchase. I shall not be using this seller again.
