Life on the Ground Floor by James Maskalyk
In this deeply personal book, humanitarian doctor and activist James Maskalyk, author of the highly acclaimed Six Months in Sudan (Canongate, 2009), draws upon his experience treating patients in the world's emergency rooms. From Toronto to Addis Ababa, Cambodia to Bolivia, he discovers that although the cultures, resources and medical challenges of each hospital may differ, they are linked indelibly by the ground floor: the location of their emergency rooms. Here is where Dr. Maskalyk witnesses mourning and laughter, tragedies and hopes, the frailty of being and the resilience of the human spirit.| SKU | Unavailable |
