From difficult births and unexpected deaths to moral quandaries and bureaucratic disasters, O'Mahony documents life in the halls that all of us will visit at some point in our lives with his characteristic wit and dry and unsentimental intelligence. <p>As the Coronavirus crisis demands more and more of the medical profession and the people who support it, Seamus O'Mahony describes his work on the front lines of a pandemic in a harrowing final chapter. This is not a conventional medical memoir: it's the collective biography of one of our great modern institutions, the general hospital, through the eyes of a brilliant writer who happens to be a gifted doctor.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Seamus O'Mahony </b>spent many years working for the National Health Service in Britain.
