'There are wonders in these pages - fifty or so reminders that for all the science in medicine, through all its challenges and rewards, to practise it well remains an art' -- Gavin Francis 'Profound, wise and bursting with humanity - this little book is pure inspiration for doctors old and new' -- Dr Rachel Clarke, author of Breathtaking, Dear Life, and Your Life in my Hands 'Like a stethoscope, doctors should have this thoughtful, quietly revealing collection with them at all times. Their stethoscope helps them listen to the hearts of their patients. Tools of the Trade helps them listen to their own heart' -- Dr Caroline Elton author of Also Human: The Inner Lives of Doctors 'Words, like drugs and scalpels, are the tools of medicine. But they reach more deeply; they arrive in the heart of a person. As doctors, we must use them with care; and poetry, as in these wonderful pages, is our songbook, our textbook. Here, open it - listen' -- Dr Sam Guglani, Consultant Oncologist, Director of Medicine Unboxed, author of Histories 'A book of poetry intended to help them recharge and be mindful of the human aspect of their vocation' * Wall Street Journal * 'Hippcratic hymns,. All lucky doctors graduating in 2019, 2020, and 2021 will be given a volume. Alas, this initiative is north of the border only, but copies are available everywhere' * British Medical Journal * 'A pocket-sized gem of a book' * Herald *More details
