In this tender and candid collection of short essays, Dr. Bruce Campbell illuminates how much medicine is truly the sacred act of holding vigil with and for our patients. Through his reflections, we get a glimpse of how surgeons hone their instincts, grow through challenges, and cope with disappointment as they navigate the uncertainty inherent in medicine. Through his polished lens, the reader understands how, even in the pressurized world of surgery, heavy with the responsibility of healing through a scalpel’s cuts, there are
moments of intimacy that are filled with grace.

From Dr. Campbell:
I was privileged to meet Dr. Awdish when she visited MCW in November 2019 to give a talk on "healing" and share some of her book, In Shock. The story of her illness, near-death, and recovery is compelling, but so is her work championing environments where healthcare workers are nurtured and supported. She is a wonderful writer, gifted speaker, talented artist, and compassionate teacher. You can follow her adventures on Twitter here.
I was honored that she agreed to read and review my book.
