Reseña del libro "King Street to King's Road: A Journey Through Social And Medical History (en Inglés)"

Like most journeys through life, there are many ups and downs - both personal and professional - much more so with a medical background which by its very nature is a breeding ground for both captivating historical tales and human interest stories. This book is no exception. Passionate about her vocation and committed to progressing her nursing career, the author shares many heart-wrenching and heart-warming anecdotes about the patients, her colleagues, senior officers, and the camaraderie she enjoyed throughout her career. But King Street to King's Road isn't purely about her medical experiences or climbing the NHS and private sector nursing ranks. She has also expertly interspersed her story with beautiful poetry and photographs, and has peppered her prose with stories of intriguing (and very memorable) characters. From exciting accounts of psychics, witches and cannibalism to her fascinating family tree (which includes a potential family link to King Robert the Bruce, her father being interviewed on TV and her cousin's Cold War escapades in Moscow) and a family relocation to America which, sadly, marked the beginning of the end of her marriage, there so many stories to enjoy that one read simply isn't enough. Rich in social history, social commentary and delivered with a good dose of Scottish wit and humour, King Street to King's Road is a wonderful story told by a talented storyteller with an unquenchable zest for life.
