Life in the Balance
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. 'A remarkably honest memoir of a life spent pulling people back from death' - Adam KayIn these stories, Dr Jim Down brings us to the very heart of the intensive care unit - the section of the hospital where the sickest patients are brought to be cared for until their condition improves. With honesty, humility and a streak of dark humour, Dr Down describes the quietly heroic work of doctors and nurses on the ICU, a place which sits at the cutting edge of medical technology and where a split-second decision can make the difference between life and death.From headline-grabbing cases like that of Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned by Russian agents and admitted to Down's ward, to the appalling aftermath of a train crash, Life in the Balance offers an inside glimpse of intensive care medicine, its immense challenges, deleterious effects on doctors' mental health and enormous rewards. Its profundity will make you reconsider the fragility of life and reframe your understanding of what it means to care. Seller Inventory # LU-9780241506394

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A moving, frank and unflinching-yet-witty account of the realities of intensive care medicine from Dr Jim Down, ICU consultant at one of London's top hospitalsIn these stories, Dr Jim Down brings us to the very heart of the intensive care unit - the hospital section where the sickest patients are brought for emergency care. With honesty, humility and a streak of dark humour, Dr Down describes the quietly heroic work of doctors and nurses on the ICU, a place which sits at the cutting edge of medical technology, and where a split-second decision can make the difference between life and death.From headline-grabbing cases like that of Alexander Litvinenko, who was admitted to Down's ward after his poisoning by Russian agents, to the appalling aftermath of a train crash, and the daily struggle to simply find enough beds, Jim Down provides a unique insight into life on The Unit, and the critical medicine doctors and nurses perform there.Life in the Balance offers the first real glimpse of intensive care medicine; its immense challenges, its deleterious effects on doctors' mental health and also its enormous rewards. This profound work reframes the fragility of life and shows what it really means to care. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
