Sinopsis
Winner of the Alan Paton Award and the South African Booksellers Choice Award
Jonathan Kaplan has been a hospital surgeon, a flying doctor, a ships medical officer and a battlefield surgeon. He has worked in places as diverse as Burma, Kurdistan, America, Mozambique, England and Eritrea. The Dressing Station presents a vivid, moving account of the varied faces of medicine he has encountered. In a mixture of reportage, confession and exposition Kaplan talks about the practice of medicine and of its shortcomings, because medicine is not always benign or balanced. At its extremes it is a process of treating the casualties, for life is a war, and being a doctor is serving in that war.
His account is born of two talents: to save lives and to bear witness. The result is a unique mixture of biography and reportage, both personal and clinicalTime Magazine
