Résumé
"What a terrific book..[Weston] leaves you feeling that if push came to shove you'd want to be operated on by her."-Nicholas Shakespeare, author of Bruce Chatwin: A BiographyThe continuing popularity of doctor shows on TV-from Scrubs, House, and Grey's Anatomy to the television phenomenon ER-indicates a widespread fascination with all things medical. Direct Red, by practicing ear, nose, and throat surgical specialist Gabriel Weston, takes readers behind the scenes and into the operating room for a fascinating look at what really goes on on the other side of the hospital doors.
"A Surgeon's View of her Life-and-Death Profession, " Weston's Direct Red is written not only with knowledge and insight, but with compassion, honesty, and literary flair. This collection of visceral and beautifully written essays explores the moments that define a surgeon: Operating Room Stories: The heart-pounding tension between speed and competence, where a surgeon's hesitation can be as fatal as a slip of the knife.
Life as a Surgeon: The paradoxical art of getting close to patients while maintaining the distance necessary to wield a scalpel, especially when faced with intimacy, sexuality, and fear. Medical Ethics: The gray areas of a life-or-death profession, from the moral ambiguity of cosmetic procedures to the brutal choices made in the name of saving a life. Doctor Memoir: A journey from a cocky medical student to a seasoned professional who understands that the greatest challenges are not always on the operating table, but in confronting one's own ambition, fear, and humanity.
