The results of a Romantic philosophy are everywhere to see: exponential progress in the material and technological fields combined with perplexing stasis in the psychological one. We are as clever with our machines and technologies as we are simple-minded in the management of our emotions. We are, in terms of wisdom, little more advanced than the ancient Sumerians or the Picts. We have the technology of an advanced civilization balancing precariously on an emotional base that has not developed much since we dwelt in caves. We have the appetites and destructive furies of primitive primates who have come into possession of thermonuclear warheads. Kristoffersson E., Rönnqvist H., Andersson J., Bengs C., Hamberg K. (2021).

Our brains simply don’t work that way. Presumably, this is why emotional suppression often ends up being so bad for us, in the end. The funny thing … I have never seen I see on TV the swastika tattoos and In one day, there were two patients of mine with swastika tattoos. I have never seen this before. So, I gave my notice. ‘This is not my place.’ So I just left. But they need doctors, they need doctors.

They did not want me to explain what needs to be done and this was not comfortable. This happened twice and it seemed like they did not want to have me there. It felt like they did not want me here. I was therefore forced to talk to the chief about what had happened. He asked me whether I wished to lodge a formal complaint, but I said no and added that he should talk to the nurses and hear their side of the story. The chief doctor then talked to the nurses, and in turn also informed the one above him. They then talked to the nurses and then we all talked together.

The other nurse said she thought I had no experience.

I love Dr Burnett's style of writing, and I love the narrator's voice and gentle accent. This book brought me to the verge of tears as well as some laugh out loud moments. Always so informative in such a non patronising way, and perhaps unsurprisingly this is (in my opinion) the most personal and raw of his books which have been on Audible. In another case, a GP who was in charge of a clinic that includes the emergency and ambulance care sections, explained at great length how the nurses tried to take over his position in the following way:

Or, you know, maybe not. But we’ll never find out if science continues to keep emotions at arm’s length. Emotions are essential for motivation, and more It’s not as if my grief was suddenly switched off, but for the first time in recent memory, my thoughts about my father were infused with a degree of fondness and warmth, rather than pain and sadness. I may have even smiled to myself slightly as I continued to plod on alone.
