Dr. Lachlan McIver is a doctor who works in some of the most extreme environments on earth, from the sinking islands of the Pacific to epidemics and war zones in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. In this thrilling memoir, he takes us right into the heart of the action as he treats patients ravaged by tropical diseases, manages drug-resistant infections in war wounds, delivers babies by the light of a head torch, and narrowly avoids being kidnapped by militia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The pressure of his work takes its toll, and Lachlan is forced to reckon with the global crises devastating more and more lives every single day. He witnesses the devastating effects of climate change, the spread of infectious diseases, and the political instability that plagues many of the countries he works in.
Despite the challenges he faces, Lachlan remains committed to his work and to saving lives. He is a skilled doctor and a compassionate person, and his story is a testament to the power of human resilience and the importance of medical care in the face of adversity.
Life and Death Decisions is an exhilarating account of one doctor facing profound, extraordinary challenges - and saving lives against all odds. It is a book that will inspire and motivate readers, reminding us of the incredible sacrifices that doctors and medical professionals make in the name of their patients and their profession.
