Dr Suzanne Crowe
'Powerful' Irish Times
INSIDE THE MOMENTS WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS
In these pages, Dr Suzanne Crowe opens the doors to a world few ever see: the charged and fragile realm of paediatric intensive care. From her earliest days as a junior doctor to becoming one of Ireland's leading specialists, she shares extraordinary stories of the children she's treated, the families who've loved them and the moments when life hung by a thread.
But this is not only a book about medicine. It is about how the healing begins with a doctor bearing witness and being present. It is about what it means to offer hope when certainty is gone. At its heart lies the searing personal loss of Suzanne's own child, Beatrice - a grief that reshaped her as a doctor and as a person.
Written with honesty and a clinician's eye for detail, this is a story of deep compassion and unflinching truth. A profoundly human memoir from a doctor whose work has touched many lives.

Crowe writes with breathtaking matter of factness .. Her account of her slow emergence from all-encompassing grief makes for harrowing reading
Crowe is powerful in her exactitude about the fear and uncertainty a career in medicine creates and the many times she wanted to quit ... gruelling truth of what it takes to save the lives of all involved
