It is their responsibility to mitigate the grief of a family in mourning, calm a patient about to die, and confront their own fear of failure when lives are on the line. Whether they're providing hospice care, tending to victims of car accidents or violent attacks, determining the correct treatment for someone displaying signs of a heart-attack or stroke, and managing staff, stress is a doctor's number one companion. Cycling through the whirlwind of emotion that accompanies every case isn't only exhausting--it can be fatal. \u003cbr\u003e Told using seven key emotions--fear, grief, joy, distraction, anger, disgust, and hope--\u003ci\u003eSeven Signs of Life\u003c\/i\u003e opens the door, and heart, of the hectic life inside a hospital to reveal what it means to be alive and how it feels to care for others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aoife Abbey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194892482X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948924825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.90w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2019 pg. 117","brand":"Aoife Abbey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940350427391,"sku":"9781948924825","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5d3c73a7-7a40-4674-a4ed-c4c181f606c4.jpg?v=1681446690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seven-signs-of-life-aoife-abbey-9781948924825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
