THE SHIFT: ONE NURSE, TWELVE HOURS, FOUR PATIENTS’ LIVES

Book ID/图书代码: 00342515B82191

English Summary/英文概要: A moving story unfolds in real time as practicing nurse and New York Times columnist Theresa Brown reveals the individual struggles as well as the larger truths about medicine in this country. She lets us experience all the life that happens in just one day in a busy teaching hospital’s oncology ward. In the span of twelve hours, lives can be lost, life-altering treatment decisions made, and dreams fulfilled or irrevocably stolen. Every day, Theresa Brown holds these lives in her hands. On this day there are four.

There is Mr. Hampton, a patient with lymphoma to whom Brown is charged with administering a powerful drug that could cure him--or kill him; Sheila, who may have been dangerously misdiagnosed; Candace, a returning patient who arrives (perhaps advisedly) with her own disinfectant wipes, cleansing rituals, and demands; and Dorothy, who after six weeks in the hospital may finally go home. Prioritizing and ministering to their needs takes the kind of skill, sensitivity, and, yes, humor that enable a nurse to be a patient’s most ardent advocate in a medical system marked by heartbreaking dysfunction as well as miraculous successes.

This remarkable book does for nurses what writers such as Atul Gawande and Abraham Verghese have done for doctors, and at shift’s end, we have learned something profound about hope and healing.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是一个感人的故事展现了实践护士的真是生活,纽约时报专栏作家特丽萨•布朗揭示了关于这个国家的医学的个人斗争,以及更大的真理。她带领我们体验了在繁忙的教学医院的肿瘤病房里的一天内发生的所有。在这十二小时内,可能会丧失生命,会做出改变生命的治疗决定,以及梦想的实现或无法撤消地溜走。每一天,特丽萨•布朗都认为这些生命掌握在她的手中。这一天有四个病人。

汉普顿先生,是一位淋巴瘤患者,布朗负责管理一种强大的可以治愈他或是杀了他的药物;希拉,一位可能已经被严重误诊的病人;坎迪斯,一位重新返回的病人(也许是故意地),有自己的消毒纸巾,清洁规矩和要求;多萝西,一位在医院待了六周终于可以回家的病人。优先考虑和照顾他们的需求需要各种各样的技巧,敏感性以及幽默,这会让护士在由令人心碎的功能障碍和不可思议的成功所标记的医疗系统中,成为患者最热心的支持者。

这本了不起的书为护士所做的就像作家如阿图•葛文德和亚伯拉罕•贝尔赫斯为医生所做的一样,并在转变的最后,我们已经学会了一些意义深远的关于希望和愈合的东西。(LNL)
