Description
John Berger's writing had a profound impact on Iona Heath's work as a GP, and she shares her story in this unique book.
Iona Heath reflects on how reading John Berger's work over 50 years and her friendship with him for nearly two decades influenced her approach to general practice. She recounts the insights she gained from his writing and the depth of understanding she developed through their correspondence.
Heath's experiences offer a fascinating perspective on the challenges of working in a deprived urban area, where every patient presents with unique concerns and unspoken fears. This book is a thoughtful exploration of how reading and conversation can shape our work and our lives.
