前线:战争、灾难与疾病中的生命拯救
A heroic doctor’s unflinchingly honest and visceral tale of impossible choices in emergency medicine. ‘A brilliant insight into the forgotten heroes at the sharp end of humanitarian emergencies.’ Jon Snow, Channel 4 News
This is a story of tireless hard work and astonishing bravery.
Tony Redmond has deployed to wars, refugee crises, air crashes, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes, and disease outbreaks for over thirty years. Featuring tales of hope and redemption, as well as untold suffering and mismanagement, this raw, honest account could only have been written by someone who has for decades performed incredible feats of altruism.
Frontline takes the reader from the wards of Manchester’s Nightingale hospital to Kosovo, from Sierra Leone’s Ebola outbreak to Lockerbie, and from Haiti to the Philippines. We find its author risking life and limb to help those affected by events beyond their control.
But while humanitarian work and medicine require an innate goodness, not all those involved have benign motives. And saving lives requires difficult choices: between the desire to relieve suffering and the need to weigh up the context. Too often medical aid is found wanting, doing more harm than good.
How are life-or-death choices made in the heat of the moment? What are the consequences of your action, or inaction? Is it better at times to do nothing? How do you live with yourself if you want to help but can’t?
This is a frank account of the personal toll — physical, mental and social — emergency medicine levies on those who choose to do it. But ultimately, Frontline offers a tale of optimism, persistence and triumph over adversity, speaking to the resilience and fortitude of those who help and those whose lives they save.
一位英雄医生毫不掩饰和直击人心的急诊医学不可能选择的故事。 “对人道主义紧急情况前线被遗忘的英雄们的 brilliant 见解。”乔恩·雪曼,第四频道新闻 这是一个关于坚持不懈努力和惊人勇敢的故事。 托尼·雷德蒙已为超过三十年在战争、难民危机、飞机失事、地震、台风、火山爆发以及疾病暴发中部署。书中包含着希望与救赎的故事,还有未被讲述的痛苦与管理不当,这本直面现实的原始、诚恳的叙述只能由几十年来一直进行着非凡善举的人所书写。 《前线》带领读者从曼彻斯特夜莺医院病房到科索沃,从塞拉利昂埃博拉疫情到洛克比,再到海地和菲律宾。我们发现作者冒着生命危险帮助那些无法控制的事情影响的人。 但尽管人道主义工作和医学需要一种固有的善良,但其中并不都是善意的动机。拯救生命也需要做出艰难的选择:在解除痛苦的愿望与权衡背景之间的选择。太多的医疗援助效果不佳,反而造成了更多的伤害。 生死攸关的选择是如何在热浪中做出的?你的行动或不作为会造成什么后果?有时不做事情更好吗?如果你想要帮助却无法做到会怎么面对自己? 这是一本坦诚地记录了急诊医学对那些选择去做的人们所施加的身体、心理和社会负担的故事。但最终,《前线》讲述了一个乐观、坚持和战胜逆境的传奇故事,它谈论着那些帮忙的人以及他们拯救的生命的韧性与坚韧。
