Also Human

Doctors are the individuals we rely on during our most challenging times, and we place immense trust in them to care for our well-being. But how does this immense pressure affect them? What is required of someone who daily faces the realities of death, illness, suffering, and despair? How do they navigate a healthcare system that is constantly on the brink of collapse? Every day, they make decisions that can alter lives, sometimes even ending them. Yet, how do they handle their own uncertainties and doubts when they are expected to always have the right answers? Caroline Elton, a seasoned psychologist with over twenty years of experience, has dedicated her career to assisting doctors. She has worked with a diverse array of medical professionals: from an obstetrician dealing with personal infertility issues, to a junior oncologist who struggles with treating patients suffering from the disease that took her father's life, and a highly skilled neurosurgeon battling the challenges of a male-dominated workplace, among others. Through compelling case studies and extensive experience in supporting healthcare providers, "Also Human" offers a thought-provoking, insightful, and profoundly human perspective on the contemporary medical field.
