The most striking stories from the practice of Liam Farrell - a family doctor from the Irish hinterland. Extremely honest, without embellishment and with thin humor.

For fans of the series "Clinic", "Doctor House" and "Ambulance".
From the author
We, doctors, live on the verge of uncertainty, we dance on the tip of the knife. Science leads us only to a certain limit, and then gray spots appear on the map, and the navigator stops, giving way to intuition, imagination and command of feelings. Fortunately, this is a powerful weapon, from the "crime and punishment" Dostoevsky, I learned about the human mind more than from any psychiatry textbook.
Each of us suffered at least once in our lives, so we empathize, looking at the self -portrait of Van Gogh: the artist and the viewer have a common experience, as well as the doctor and the patient find mutual understanding. Unlike the cold and hardly obtained truths of scientific medicine, all this is vague and vaguely: something needs to be studied on bitter experience, something cannot be taught, something requires sympathy and empathy
