Nearly a decade later, she finds herself in the operating room again--this time as a trainee nurse. She learns to care for her patients, sharing not only their pain, but also life-affirming moments of hope. In doing so, she offers a compelling account of the processes that keep them alive, from respiratory examinations to surgical prep, and of the extraordinary moments of human connection that sustain both nurse and patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn rich, lyrical prose, Case illustrates the intricacies of the human condition through the hand of a stranger offered in solace, a gentle word in response to fear and anger, or the witnessing of a person's last breaths. It is these moments of empathy, in the extremis of human experience, that define us as people. But when Molly's father is admitted to the cardiac unit where she works, the professional and the personal suddenly collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together medical history, art, memoir, and science, \u003cem\u003eHow to Treat People\u003c\/em\u003e beautifully explores the oscillating rhythms of life and death in a tender reminder that we can all find meaning in being, even for a moment, part of the lives of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324003464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324003465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
