Gisela de Oliveira Esteves

Hypocratic Oaths: A Doctor's Journey of Redemption from Broken Promises (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The publicly perceived notion that the medical profession is a noble one has nothing to do with reality. Dr Gisela spent the better part of her early career working with medical emergencies in Johannesburg's trauma units, evacuating sick and injured patients from remote areas into first-world hospitals, and saving the lives of countless souls amidst violence, human decay, and hopeless despair. Behind her poker face lay a deep-seated hatred for the human race, and the hypocrite within could no longer survive.

After years of broken promises, Dr Gisela finds herself at the edge of a deep, dark abyss, bitter in her profession and angry at her God for giving her the perfect angel of a daughter to raise. Although her only desire is to evacuate herself out of this life, she is unable to turn her back on her child.

In a desperate attempt to save her soul, and never having hiked a day in her life, she embarks on a 300-kilometre pilgrimage through the mountains of South Africa's Eastern Cape in search of deliverance, redemption, or an epiphany. She is mostly looking for a way back to love.

Autorenporträt

Dr Gisela de Oliveira Esteves graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand as a medical doctor in 1996. She completed her internship at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, followed by one year as a medical officer in the Department of Paediatrics at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital. For years, she then worked as a casualty officer at various trauma and emergency departments. Her passion for flying, coupled with a favourable opportunity, allowed her to join the STAR helicopter rescue flight team. She later joined the International SOS group of flight doctors on rescue medical evacuations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In 2008, she joined a general medical group practice and, in 2015, ventured on her own. She is currently working as a GP in private practice, taking time out to travel and write. She lives in Johannesburg with her husband, young daughter, and three Labradors.
