Summary

Wise, candid, brave and incredibly moving, this superb memoir by New Zealand doctor Lucy O'Hagan is full of warm wisdom and humanity. Over her long career Dr O'Hagan has developed deep insights into the profound but often complex relationship between patients and doctors. Learning about her own struggle with what it means to be a truly useful doctor is both fascinating and absorbing. From working with people living on the margins and her own burnout to her efforts to better serve her Māori patients and the black humour that is sometimes needed to get through the day, she keeps her eye on the one key question: What is it to be a good physician?
