Notes of an Emergency Physician. Life on the first floor
9.99 €
Combining his work at a trauma center in Toronto with his work at Addis Ababa's largest university hospital, James Maskalik discovers that while these hospitals differ in many ways-cultural differences, access to resources, medical problems-they have one thing in common: the first floor, where the emergency room is located. It is here, on the first floor, that Maskalik comes face to face with his fears and doubts, with the grief and joy, the tragedies and hopes of his patients, the fragility of existence and the resilience of the human spirit. And yet he is most closely acquainted with the history of "human life" not in the role of a doctor, but as a grandson caring for his ninety-year-old grandfather. This masterfully written and elegantly structured book is more than an emergency physician's memoir. It is a reflection on health and illness, and on when to hold on to life and when it is time to let go.
