Publisher's Summary

A Life in Trauma is a frank, remarkable account of a career spent helping others, offering a positive outlook on the potential of Ireland’s healthcare system in the future.

Concern. Compassion. Doubt. Despair. Anger. Hope.

Imagine juggling these feelings every day in a situation where your work could mean the difference between someone's life or death.

For Dr Chris Luke, a consultant in emergency medicine, these experiences are an intrinsic part of the job – ranging from rage at a system that often leaves vulnerable people waiting anxiously, to the incomparable satisfaction of relieving patients’ suffering and distress.

This revealing memoir takes us on a rollercoaster journey from Chris's days as an orphanage boy through to becoming one of the leading emergency physicians in the country.

Honest and compelling

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this memoir and will return again as I feel there are learnings to be had from the authors experience.
