Description:
|
A few years ago, I found myself in A & E.
I had never felt so ill. I was mentally and physically broken. So fractured, I hadn't eaten properly or slept well, or even changed my expression for months. I sat in a cubicle, behind paper-thin curtains and I shook with the effort of not crying. I was an inch away from defeat ... but I knew I had to carry on.
Because I wasn't the patient. I was the doctor. [Taken from book cover, Profile Books]
