Description

Life Blood by David Marks offers a unique perspective on modern medicine and the personal experiences of a renowned leukaemia physician. The author's memoir reflects on his long career, sharing frank descriptions of his own medical family, personal struggles with ill-health, and relationships with colleagues and patients in the NHS. This book provides highly informed and compassionate views on contemporary healthcare, drawing from the author's pivotal point in both his professional life and the history of healthcare. Through real-life stories, Marks sheds light on what it is like to be diagnosed and treated for a life-threatening yet frequently curable cancer, such as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The book also explores recent advances in treatment, including CAR T cells, which have shown promise in curing previously treatment-refractory cases.
