Description
Mount House Press is thrilled to announce
the release of Strong Medicine: A Doctor's Reflections on Life and Death,
a captivating new book by Dr Elisabeth Macdonald. This memoir offers an
intimate glimpse into the life and career of a distinguished children's
oncologist whose passion for research and medicine has shaped her remarkable
journey.
Strong Medicine takes readers on a fascinating journey through
the medical world, from Macdonald's training over 17 years in three different
countries to the influential roles she filled at prestigious institutions,
particularly Guy's Hospital, London. The memoir is filled with personal
anecdotes, professional insights, and vivid descriptions of her work in
paediatric oncology. The reflections come out in her growing conviction that
the quality of life she was passionate to protect had to be understood within a
framework which allowed for assisted dying: it is a crucial and sensitive issue
which she confronts honestly and fearlessly.
