They had little prior knowledge but deep moral resolve. This book tells their story in their words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe early response to AIDS was shaped by media fearmongering, conservative moralism and homophobia. Against this, nurses and midwives fought for the dignity, rights and autonomy of their patients, mostly young gay men and drug users marginalised by society and facing profound discrimination. Working alongside activists and patients, they tore down the old traditions of nursing and did things differently. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring the real voices of twenty-seven nurses, He died in my arms takes the reader inside the wards and hospices of the 1980s and 1990s, revealing the extraordinary truth of nursing in the AIDS era. It was an experience that profoundly changed the nurses who went through it. It would change nursing forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Bruton,Siân Edwards,Martin Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1807073416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781807073411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jane Bruton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001198158079,"sku":"9781807073411","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/he-died-in-my-arms-jane-bruton-9781807073411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
