\u00a0<\/em>\u00abLe Ch\u0153ur des femmes<\/strong>\u00bb, Martin Winckler<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book about doctors, written in the genre of the classic novel. The main character wanted to connect her life with medicine. She imagined working as a surgeon and saving lives every day at the operating table. And so she became a doctor, but not in the specialty that attracted her from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean, the main character, started working as a female doctor. At first, she just had to go through a six-month internship, so she got into the maternity ward. Her mentor was displeased that Jean was so cold about the \u00abfemale doctor\u00bb profession. He helped the girl to join this field and showed her the other side of gynaecology and obstetrics. Thanks to Franz Karma’s help, Jean changed her mind. She learned to listen to her patients and empathize with them. At the most unexpected moment, her life changed, and previously existing dreams and plans were no longer so desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThis is Going to Hurt<\/strong>\u00bb, Adam Kay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam Kay is a British writer, screenwriter and a former doctor. After working as an obstetrician and gynaecologist for six years, he described his experience in the book \u00abThis is Going to Hurt\u00bb. It turned out to be a fascinating story, which has already begun to shoot the series in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is written in the form of a diary, consisting of brief, accurate and witty notes. It captures from the first page: the doctor’s workdays, bureaucratic difficulties and medical details are described in a surprisingly dynamic and lively way. And most importantly \u2014 with a large share of subtle humour. In parallel, the author talks about himself, his first steps in medicine, the British health system, and even gives professional advice to women based on his experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abFragile Lives<\/strong>\u00bb, Stephen Westaby<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Westaby is a British heart surgeon with 35 years of experience. In 2017, he wrote the book \u00abFragile Lives\u00bb. He perfectly managed to combine intriguing, almost detective stories with medical authenticity, without resorting to artistic embellishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abFragile Lives\u00bb can be compared to a fascinating medical series, in which each episode is dedicated to one patient with a complex problem. The book has well written characters, feelings and fears of people. Dry case histories, medical terms, and descriptions of complex heart operations add to the narrative tension. The heart surgeon fights for every life: he looks for non-standard solutions, enjoys wide connections, resists the bureaucracy of hospitals and sincerely cares for patients and their relatives. Happy episodes are replaced by sad ones, and each case evokes strong emotions and leaves a deep mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abAwakenings<\/strong>\u00bb, Oliver Sacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Sacks is a talented American neurologist, author of a number of books in the genre of clinical stories, including the famous collections \u00abThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat\u00bb and \u00abAn Anthropologist on Mars\u00bb. One of his first literary works is the memoir “Awakenings” about the epidemic of lethargic encephalitis<\/a> in the early XX century and the treatment of its consequences in the 60s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story described is real: Oliver Sacks did work with hopeless \u00absleeping sickness\u00bb patients in the 1969-1970. After using the experimental drug L-Dopa, patients suddenly came out of their stupor and returned to life. The book describes the tragic life stories of 20 people who have suffered lethargic encephalitis, and the work of a dedicated, sympathetic, tireless doctor. This semi-artistic, semi-medical text with a heavy plot has an amazing psychotherapeutic effect on readers and is remembered for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe Anatomist<\/strong>\u00bb, Federico Andahazi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book about the history of medicine. In the centre of events \u2014 the era of the Middle Ages, when the main medicines were tinctures. No one performed operations at that time either. It was believed that only God knows who is destined to live and who is destined to die. The operation was perceived as a diabolical interference with the higher will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main character of the book is a doctor who can not accept the fact that people were dying because of the inaction of others. And this doctor tries to do everything to change the attitude to interventions in the human body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
