## Description

The Language of Kindness: A Nurse's Story : Watson, Christie: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: The Language of kindness book, recommended to me. - I am in this industry as a mature nurse! Pleasant book, would recommend it to all nurses! Thank you
Review: Couldn't put it down. Heartfelt, honest, and a real insight into our NHS. - I'm the parent of a child with complex medical needs. She is severely disabled. Non verbal, non mobile, 100% tube fed and has epilepsy. Until 5 years ago I had very minimal experience of hospitals and nurses whereas now I can read medical notes and understand almost all of what is being discussed. It was great reading a book where I could see things from the other side of the hospital bed. We have become close over the years with some amazing nurses. Ones who will stay up late and chat with me in our cubicle. Ones who have taught me how to repass an NG tube, then a Gtube, then to being amazing at seeing a GJ button for the first time. I used to be so squeamish but now I think I would have been a great nurse. Nurses are amazing. They work tirelessly and this book shows not only how strained our nhs resources are, but how in spite of this the nurses persevere. It shows also the emotional side to it and the personal journey each nurse must go through. I was amused to learn about the author knowing which area a nurse worked in without knowing. I am familiar with this having encountered A&E nurses and all kinds. Thank you for writing this book. I suspect people who have not been exposed to the world of hospitals may be in for a bit of a shock and it would be great if more people could read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good medical memoir.
*by J***H on 26 November 2023*

I enjoyed this memoir. Christie Watson tells of her time in nursing, starting from when she's a student, going through the different placements and specialities, continuing through the next 20 years in her career. I liked this from the beginning, then wasn't sure in some of a later chapter, then loved the midwifery chapter, and thereafter. She tells it like it is. Sometimes terrible things. It’s a powerful memoir. I've read many medical memoirs, and thought I knew about quite a lot of illnesses and conditions, but here many syndromes are mentioned I've never heard of before. Rare and terrible things that she must have seen in her time caring for sick children whilst working at a London hospital. Terrible, tragic and shocking stories too. The things she sees, it’s hard-hitting and heartbreaking. This turned out to be such a good book. Other angles from medical memoirs I've read previously.
