From the authorMy experience with patients was a lesson courage, vulnerability and humanism. To help those suffering, I had to suffer myself. What you read in this book reflects my understanding of medical ethics and tells the story of the struggles I have shared with my patients. In this book, I share the lessons and insights I have learned in my personal and professional life, as well as what I have been taught patients about our amazing brain and the infinite value of life. I am immensely grateful to my patients. In the most difficult life circumstances, they showed me what true courage, mercy and true wisdom are, and forced me to reconsider my understanding of life, loss and survival. On these pages I share what I have learned. It is published in Russian for the first time.
