Join Dr Michelle Johnston, emergency physician and author of Fifty Beating Wonders, in conversation with Lorraine Horsley.
Set against the backdrop of a busy Emergency Department, Fifty Beating Wonders is a moving and fascinating exploration of the human body and the people who care for it. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience in emergency medicine, Johnston combines stories from the frontline of healthcare with reflections on science, resilience, inequity, hope and what it truly means to be human.
Part medical narrative, part memoir and part celebration of the wonders hidden within our bodies, this remarkable book takes readers behind the hospital doors and into the extraordinary systems that keep us alive. Through moments of crisis, compassion and discovery, Johnston reveals the awe and beauty that can be found even in life's most challenging circumstances.
This is an engaging event for readers interested in medicine, health, science, memoir and the human stories at the heart of healthcare.
