How to Treat People: A Nurse at Work
Autor Molly Caseen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2020
The hand of a stranger offered in solace. A flower placed on a dead body as a mark of respect. It is these moments of empathy that define us as people.
Nobody knows this better than a nurse. InHow to Treat People, Molly Case documents these extraordinary moments of human connection and compassion. In rich, lyrical prose, she introduces us to patients going through the most extreme experiences. And when her father is admitted to the high dependency unit on which she works, Molly confronts care in a whole new way, when two worlds - the professional and the personal - suddenly collide.

and
compassion
are
everywhere
evident
in
this
beautifully
written
narrative
Written with apoet's ear for language and a nurse's compassionate heart.It will make you cry, andit will buoy your faith in humanity
Thisfascinating and eruditebook takes us through one woman's lovely relationship with her father interspersed withpoignant and searingtales from the world of the nurse, as these two worlds move towards an emotional collision. Molly has treated us to a book that gets to the heart (literally) of a nurse's life. As well as being informative, moving and so interesting, it is a bloody good read.Anyone who needs any more convincing that the NHS is our most invaluable asset will find that many times over within the pages of this book
Beautifully written and passionate tales from the nurse you would choose for yourself
Poetic and compassionate, offering a joyous celebration of life
Molly Case reminds us that humanity and moments of true care are as healing as the medicine modern science can deliver
The tandem stories of Case as nurse and daughter exert the pull of a novelthrough pages threaded with philosophy and history, ethics and etymology
Case's book willrestore your faith. . . Sheilluminates the fascinating and never-ending loop of care in a hospital
What differentiatesHow to Treat Peoplefrom other cracking doctor and nurse memoirs already out there isCase's youth and her outstanding use of language.Her charm is her generation's charm: open, loving, bold, inquisitive, caring. May she inspire her contemporaries to join her in a vital job
Themoments of empathy and kindness in extreme, tragic situationsform the focal point of Case's book, which weaves together science and storytelling
A profound reflection on the way we live and die
Intense,powerful, moving and very enlighteningon what it means to be a nurse. I loved its endless curiosity about the language of medicine and the practice of care. It seemedinfused with a love and respect for the profession itself
How to Treat Peoplegets to the heart of who we are- how we live and also how we die. I was moved twice over- by the work Molly does as a nurse every day, and by the book she has written
