‘A hymn to the art and science of nursing itself’ Guardian Nobody understands the power of human connection quite like a nurse. A hand offered to a stranger in their darkest moment. A flower laid on a body as a final mark of respect. In How to Treat People, Molly Case captures these remarkable acts of compassion with the skill of a writer and the insight of someone who has lived them. Through rich, lyrical prose, she introduces patients enduring the most extreme experiences life can bring — and then confronts care from an entirely different angle when her own father is admitted to the high dependency unit where she works, forcing the professional and the personal to collide. ‘Outstanding. Case’s power of observation can slay you’ The Times ‘It will buoy your faith in humanity’ Stylist ‘Fascinating, poignant and searing’ Jo Brand ‘Her empathy and compassion are everywhere’ Sunday Times ‘Beautifully written’ Stephen Westaby, author of Fragile Lives
