Emergency Blues
55 breaths a minute is exhausting just to watch, and I do watch, hovering at the end of the bed, hoping my treatment will take effect. hoping for something other than reality. It is not good use of time. My patient count at the end of the shift is absurd. But now I know. 55 breaths a minute, none of them shifting much air, is yet another not good way to die. Doctors don't always tell us what it's like, but these 17 short poems, written in between patients, in the dark of night, on coffee break, or catching a moment of sun, invite us in. The place is Australia, but the moments and the people and the search for meaning are universal tales.
Beyond Borders
"Two weeks ago, I didn't even know that Niger was a country... now I am deep in its south with Doctors Without Borders, responsible for saving people's lives." In this story of humanitarian emergency medical work as a physician with Médecins Sans Frontières in Africa, Cassandra Arnold uses spare prose and haunting images to share the heartbreak and the humor, the challenges and the celebrations of volunteer work overseas. From February 2009 to October 2013, Dr Cassandra Arnold spent twenty months in the field as a volunteer with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. In that time, she accepted 8 posts in 5 different countries: Niger, Haiti, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Iraq. This is Niger, where it all began. Part journal, part photo essay, part poem... deeply personal and deeply confronting... If you have ever wondered what this work is really like, read this book and you will know. "Follow me now into the sands of the Sahel." Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Doctors Without Borders Canada.
