An Everyday Miracle by Jim Dornan

An Everyday Miracle by Jim Dornan

Heartwarming real-life stories about giving birth and womens health from a world-leading gynaecologist and obstetrician.

I found Prof Dornan's account of delivering babies from the 1970s.. all the way up to today a fascinating read.

this book goes beyond medical jargon and looks at the emotions of different scenarios

When you finish reading the book, you really have a sense that despite delivering in excess of 6,000 babies Prof Dornan still views every single birth as 'An Everday Miracle'.

Professor Dornan chronicles the sad, the happy, the ordinary and the phenomenal

he has managed the almost impossible, by writing a book which will be valuable to the profession and interesting to the general public - especially women, although men could learn a lot too

a book full of nerve-jangling life-and-death drama spliced through with life lessons on the human condition

-- Gail Walker

This is a beautiful book - heartwarming, heartbreaking and bursting with tenderness.

Dornan's new book, An Everyday Miracle, is actually a very upbeat account of his medical journey, littered with amusing anecdotes as well as real tear-jerkers.

An honest engaging account of the life's work of a kind, thinking and skilled obstetrician.

-- Dame Lorna Muirhead

Jim Dornan's real-life stories from the delivery frontline are moving and inspiring.

-- Sarah Brown

The complex medical and human dilemmas in these moving stories are explained with warmth and humour... You will be inspired by this book.

-- Prof. Lesley Regan

...tales of the unexpected, told with humour and wisdom, around the joys and headaches that women go through in their reproductive lives.

-- Marcus Setchell
