War Doctor

[Skerryberry]

Just read this book by David Nott. What a truly amazing man! He is a NHS surgeon who works in three hospitals across London but over the last 30 years has used his annual leave to work in conflict zones.

This book is a gripping memoir that is honest and gives an incredible insight into the effects of war and trauma surgery. It is a thought provoking read that will challenged your perceptions. David Nott is a courageous and highly talented surgeon who deserves a knighthood and his story to be heard.

It is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. I listened to the audible version and which he narrates himself and he tells his story so well.

He is the most amazing man and his story is fascinating, harrowing and inspiring in equal measures.

I've been recommending it to everyone!

Thanks for the recommendation OP. I loved Henry Marsh's Do No Harm and the documentary about him but I've not found anything that came close yet so up for trying this.

This will give you a taster:
