'ALL AT ONCE BRAVE, FUNNY, SHOCKING AND DOWN TO EARTH'
Aaron Smith, author of The Rock
From the sinking islands of the Pacific to epidemics and war zones in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, doctors like Lachlan McIver work in some of the most extreme environments on earth. In this thrilling memoir, Lachlan takes us right into the heart of the action as he treats patients ravaged by tropical diseases, manages drug-resistant infections in war wounds, delivers babies by the light of a head torch, and narrowly avoids being kidnapped by militia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Inevitably, the pressure takes its toll as Lachlan is forced to reckon with the global crises devastating more and more lives every single day. Life and Death Decisions is an exhilarating account of one doctor facing profound, extraordinary challenges - and saving lives against all odds.
