Breathtaking: Inside The NHS
Do you know how it feels to tackle several patients at a time during the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic? How can a doctor bridge the gap between his/her very ill patient in isolation and their anguished family members waiting outside the room? Do you know that unsure feeling of whether the protective gears you are wearing have corresponded to scientific standards or the government's stockpile quantities?
That's right; aside from doctors who work day and night tirelessly to save their patients, we cannot know what all of those things feel like. Behind their masks and visors, these doctors are willing to do anything to keep the coronavirus at bay, keeping humanity from its eventual doom.
Rachel Clarke is an expert care physician who cared for the hospital's most terminally ill Covid-19 patient wards. In the midst of her stress, exhaustion, and a mounting death toll, Rachel observed the fortitude of both patients and NHS employees in the face of unparalleled hardship. She discovered that despite the gloom and terror, people are still holding hope about a bright future, which motivates her to complete the book "Breathtaking: Inside the NHS".
"Breathtaking: Inside the NHS" is a forthright account of what's behind closed doors at every hospital during the coronavirus era. Using evidence from nursing, acute, and intensive care colleagues - as well as, most importantly, her patients - Clarke argues that this era of contagion has engendered a great awareness of and appreciation for what matters most in life. The book is well-received and lauded by many as one of the best books about the Covid-19 Pandemic.
