The unforgettable memoir from the bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and Three Things About Elsie

A few years ago, I found myself in A&E. I had never felt so ill. I was mentally and physically broken. So fractured, I hadn't eaten properly or slept well, or even changed my expression for months. I sat in a cubicle, behind paper-thin curtains and I shook with the effort of not crying. I was an inch away from defeat... but I knew I had to carry on. Because I wasn't the patient. I was the doctor.

No sleep, skeleton support, a head full of anatomy lectures and idealism: this is life for our junior doctors in their first few years on the wards. Here, Joanna Cannon tells her own story in visceral, heart-rending snapshots.

We walk with her, facing extraordinary and daunting moments and meeting her patients: from attending her first post-mortem, learning the overwhelming power of a well or badly chosen word, sitting with a young woman in her final hours, to small sustaining acts of kindness and connection. These moments teach her that emotional care can be just as critical as restoring a heartbeat - and eventually lead her to her true home in
psychiatry.

Deeply moving, warm, compassionate and beautifully written, Breaking & Mending shows us why we need to better care for mental health - and for those who care for us. Physical Illness & Disease Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Sociology İlham verici Samimi Sağlık

This book details the author's journey through embarking on medical training as an older student, through to her experiences on the ward and flourishing in psychiatry. It is a wonderful human look at all the people in a hospital and the stories and emotions they hold. Beautifully read by the author.

As a nursing student I really enjoyed this. A doctor being real, showing her thighs and lows through medical school and beyond. A lot I could relate to. Intense, eloquent and excellently narrated by the author herself (best way typically). As much about the patients as about herself and very real: breaking and mending, probably the only real way to become a real doctor and the very journey of us all.

A very real and eloquent autobiographical journey

Funnily enough, didn't find the author brought it to life! But I suppose it's obviously how she felt it should be read. Lots of touching stories, some heartwarming, but overall didn't really feel it got anywhere, needed more of her "mending" as I was left feeling most was the issues and struggles and very little on the positives.

Interesting but depressing!
