I’ve read quite a lot of books about people working in the medical industry - doctors, paramedics, nurses, etc, but this is the first that focused on intensive care. The book is really nicely structured, with chapters focusing on different areas of the mind, body and soul to then tell stories about the philosophies of intensive care, the prospects and outcomes, the history of it and how it has improved, with plenty of patient examples to illustrate. Highs and lows, as always with this type of book, but very insightful.
