Description

Judith Wozniak's debut pamphlet explores the life of a GP through the lens of her own experiences and observations. Drawing on John Berger's seminal work "A Fortunate Man", these poems offer a unique perspective on the working life of a doctor, revealing the complexities and vulnerabilities of those they care for.

Through sonnets and other forms, Wozniak portrays the intricate relationships between doctors and patients, as well as the challenges faced by healthcare professionals outside the hospital setting. The result is a moving narrative that conveys both the harrowing aspects of medical practice and the redemptive power of human connection.

With compassion and skill, Wozniak sheds light on the often-overlooked world of general practice, revealing the quiet moments of tenderness and understanding that make all the difference in the lives of those who need it most.
