Matters of Life and Death
Book (italiano):
Heath is a general practice physician in England and many of her comments in this book reflect her frustration with Britain's national health system. In her years of practice she has inevitably had to face the death of patients. The first part of her work deals with how poetry has helped her understand and cope emotionally with what can't be cured. The second part is a reprint of an essay on being a general practitioner. Again she feels that literature helps the physician develop a deeper comprehension of the total patient. Fiction author John Berger provides literary intervals between the two sections.
