A junior doctor makes a moral judgment; a porter waxes lyrical on his invisibility; a patient swims in and out of consciousness. Over the course of one week, each character pulses round the others - a body fighting its own sickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn prose that's tender and refined, doctor and poet Sam Guglani dissects the ordinary moments that make the difference; taking up that tug of war between medicine and faith, love and fear, life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Sam+Guglani\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSam Guglani\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sam Guglani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376764010659,"sku":"9781786483812","price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786483812_2d72add5-da36-4056-9015-3588993de0c5.jpg?v=1776591262","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786483812","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
