Woman in a White Coat
Memoir of an 85-year old retired pathologist, Harley Street dentist, entrepreneur and director of a Cancer Research Laboratory. Short-listed for the Tony Lothian Biography Prize and the Wasafiri Memoir prize
Woman in a White Coat
Meet 85-year old Dr Abby Waterman, the unwelcome third daughter of Orthodox Jews who desperately wanted a son. She survives rat-infested cold-water tenements in London's East End, the Great Depression, WW2 and the Blitz. Despite poverty, sexual harassment and discrimination, she becomes in turn a Harley Street dentist, a doctor, an entrepreneur, a consultant pathologist and director of a cancer research laboratory, as well as the mother of four. Behind the scenes in a busy NHS hospital, you witness the tears doctors shed that patients never see. Step into Abby's shoes as an 18-year-old dissecting her first body and later, as a mother of young children, carrying out an autopsy on a four-year-old. She undergoes treatment for breast cancer, only to be told her cancer has spread to her spine. While on a ventilator following a heart attack, she learns that Do Not Resuscitate is written into her notes. 'Woman in a White Coat' was short-listed for the Tony Lothian Biography Prize and the Wasafiri Memoir Prize
