Description

The course of my life is in Your power; deliver me from the power of my enemies and from my persecutors. My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. I feared that, if my hours and workload continued as they were, I might fail to cling onto the one thing that had driven me into medicine in the first place: my compassion. In the Sunday Times best-selling Your Life in My Hands, Rachel depicts life as a junior doctor on the NHS frontline. A heartfelt, deeply personal memoir that is both a powerful polemic on the degradation of Britain's most vital public institution and a love letter of hope and optimism to that same health service.

The goodwill and kindness without which the NHS will not survive are being inexorably squeezed out by underfunding, understaffing and the ever more unrealistic demands placed upon a floundering workforce.Unsurprisingly, this book made its way into my life through the Oxford Medicine Introductory Reading List. Another medicine-related read, it will be enlightening for all aspiring medics and medical students, especially those who are living or studying in the UK. For myself, this has served as an invaluable introduction to the health system which I am about to enter but have never experienced first-hand. Albeit from a slightly condemning perspective, the candid reflections are deeply moving.

I hope sincerely that the Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt has read Rachel Clarke’s passionate memoir but I doubt it. I am passionate about our NHS and the heroes that work in the NHS. I cannot praise Your Life in My Hands high enough. It you care about the future of the NHS then this is a book you must read. To Rachel Clarke I say thank you for writing this important book that in years to come may yet be a book every junior doctor will want to read. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Many always dream of being a nurse or a doctor specialising in specific areas of medicine, but no-one prepares you for the real life on the front line that is looking after patients and dealing with the most traumatic moments that only a doctor can experience. Every patient is different, not every patient is understanding some can be rather rude. We ask a lot of doctors and what they have to except. Rachel’s accounts in her book are very eloquent and her writing style means that she comes across as though she there with you talking directly you. Just like a doctor in fact. My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
