A succinct, elegant and beautifully written account of what the NHS should and could still be\' Rachel Clarke Britain\'s health service is dying. Gavin Francis shows us why we should fight for it. Since its birth in 1948, the powers that be have chipped away at the NHS. Now, Britain\'s best-loved institution is under greater threat than ever, besieged by a deadly combination of underfunding, understaffing and the predatory private sector. In the wake of the pandemic, we have come to accept a \'new normal\' of permanent crisis and years-long waiting lists. But, as Gavin Francis reveals in this short, vital book- it doesn\'t have to be this way, and until recently, it wasn\'t. Drawing on the history of the NHS as well as his own experience as a GP, he introduces us to the inner workings of an institution that has never been perfect but which transformed the lives and health of millions, for free - and which has never been more important. For those who believe in the future of the NHS and its founding principles, this is essential reading from the bestselling author of Recovery and Intensive Care. Σελίδες: 192, Διαστάσεις: 11x11cm

Exactly what I needed\' - Rachel Clarke \'A lovely little book\' - Michael Rosen When it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just the beginning.

Characterised by Francis\'s beautiful prose and his view of medicine as \'the alliance of science and kindness\', Recovery is a book about a journey that most of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing. Σελίδες: 144, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0113, Διαστάσεις: 11x11cm

In spring 2004, Susan Sontag was diagnosed with the incurable blood cancer. She had a huge appetite for experience, and a wild, extravagant desire to live. Rieff writes movingly about being by her side during that last year and at her death, and about his own contradictory emotions: his guilt both for not consoling her enough, and for somehow colluding with her in her belief that she could beat the disease. Drawing on Sontag\'s journals and letters, which Rieff read after her death, and on the writings about the deaths of other great thinkers, Swimming in a Sea of Death provides a vivid portrait of Sontag in the last year of her life and a haunting meditation on mortality.
