Book Review- "Saving a Strangers Life" by Dr Anne Biccard

Today's book review is called "Saving a Strangers Life" by Dr Anne Biccard. Anne Biccard has worked as emergence doctor in Johannesburg for more than 30 years. It is a job that is both terrifying and thrilling, where death can be outwitted by skill and quick thinking. The coronavirus, however, has added another dimension of fear. In this heart-warming and sometimes hilarious memoir she recounts some of the cases that have burst in through her doors, such as a woman who mistook her Dettol for beer and the man who tried to run down his cardiologist. There is sadness, too, as she remembers the patients who did not make it. Above all, she writes of the camaraderie and dogged determination of health workers holding fast in the face of covid-19 nightmare, as they battle everyday, to save a stranger's life. Dr Anne Biccard now joins us on line.
