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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis paperback edition has a new afterword by the author, reflecting on her work during the Covid-19 pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aoife Abbey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951627482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951627485\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\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Aoife Abbey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076965560575,"sku":"9781951627485","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ba6cb90-1d52-4a6e-9fc7-70f0ab6ecf25.jpg?v=1685467672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seven-signs-of-life-aoife-abbey-9781951627485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
