About this listen
Joining us at Audible Studios is the author of the Sunday Times best-selling debut novel The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Joanna Cannon.
She has recently released Breaking and Mending, a memoir of her life as a junior doctor.
Cannon walks us through the wards, from attending her first postmortem to sitting beside a patient as they passed away. The small acts of kindness and connection that intersperse hospital life taught Cannon that the heartbeat is not the only essential part of a human being - emotional care and mental health are also critical. In Breaking and Mending, the human side of doctors and patients are brought to life, and it illustrates why doctors are in need of so much care.
We spoke to Joanna about her experiences as a junior doctor, her life as an author and what her plans are for the future.
