War Doctor is his extraordinary story, encompassing his surgeries in nearly every major conflict zone since the end of the Cold War, as well as his struggles to return to a normal life and routine after each trip. Culminating in his recent trips to war-torn Syriaand the untold story of his efforts to help secure a humanitarian corridor out of besieged Aleppo to evacuate some 50,000 peopleWar Doctor is a heart-stopping and moving blend of medical memoir, personal journey, and nonfiction thriller that provides unforgettable, at times raw, insight into the human toll of war.

Sharpeipup @mabell you should definitely check it out! The coffeeshop has a diverse menu with some Gilmore Girls vibes. The bookstore seemed to be older/gently used titles. 2y
mabell Sounds like a cool place! 2y

Mehso-so

This took me 3 attempts to read this.
The stories started great but then just fizzled out.

David Nott is truly an incredible human being.He details his time as a trauma surgeon volunteering to help people in all of the worst humanitarian crises around the world.He admits that he‘s an adrenaline junkie and thrives on the danger of knowing that he could be killed at any time.Over time, he comes to realize that his true gift lays not just in saving one life at a time, but in teaching local doctors so they can go on and save many lives.

SamAnne Terry Gross interviewed him on Fresh Air last week. Highly recommend a listen! (edited) 5y

Dr Nott was on Fresh Air today. The interview was stunning. Dr Nott was contacted mid-interview by a doctor in a Syrian war zone who needed to be walked through an emergency c-section. Sobering to hear.

I just realized that I updated many photos from last weekend's book fair but I didn't update the most important: my new finds. So here they are! Books about the witch hunts in Sweden during the middle ages, mafia in Italy, North Korea, being a doctor in war zones, world classic, ancient Finland, second world war and cults. I'm so happy with these! ❤😁
