You can find this book here.
I
just finished this wonderful book.
Rachel Clarke is a palliative care doctor
working in NHS in England. The book describes how she came to that specialty
and what she has learnt from her patients, their families and her colleagues.
Her father, a GP, gets cancer and eventually is in need of palliative care
himself. I would love to have her as my doctor if the need arose.
I
smiled & wept throughout this book which brought me back to some difficult
memories but ultimately it was life affirming.
The
last line from Philip Larkin's poem 'An Arundel Tomb' is quoted towards the
end.....
"What
will survive of us is love."
-- Wendy
