Surgeon, internist, gynaecologist. A psychiatrist with decades of experience and a budding trainee in a hospice. A nurse sent on a medical mission to war-torn Libya and a show-business celebrity dentist. A psychodietitian and a doctor who owns her own dissection room. They tell stories of patients and cases they will never forget.
About a boy who believed that when he lost weight, he would be handed over to his inefficient mother. About a girl who preferred to go on a date rather than save her own health. About a young man who contracted an incurable disease in his late twenties. About a woman from Africa who was condemned to death by the level of medicine there, even though her disease is completely curable in Western countries. About the hundreds of dead people who are treated in dissecting rooms worse than unnecessary objects.
Stories of work at the intersection of science, faith and hope. Cases that happen once in a million. They continue to stir emotions and provoke the unanswerable question: have we done everything we can for this patient?
