Bheja Fry (Paperback)

Paperback. NeurosurgeonDr Mazda Turel has spent decades encountering the strange, moving and often unexpectedly funny edges of human life through his work. In these pages you will find a wheelchair-bound woman whose devoted caregiver husband suddenly became a patient himself, a woman whose dog discovered her breast cancer before she did and a brilliant teen with a brain tumour who got his doctor to teach him to read MRI scans. Through these unusual cases, Dr Turel comes to understand illness not just as a medical condition, but as a test of resilience,identity and the human spirit. Told with warmth, insight and quiet humour, these stories are as colourful and intriguing a they are deeply humane.
