"Between Breath and Silence. Stories That Stay Beneath the Skin"
Not all battles are fought in the operating room.
Some unfold in the gaze of a patient who already knows they won't return home.
Others - in the hands of a doctor, trembling just before making a decision that determines whether someone lives or dies.
This book is an intimate record of a doctor's work - someone who stares death in the eyes every day, and every day tries to outsmart it.
Stories from toxicology, oncology, psychiatry, or intensive care wards are not presented here as dry medical reports, but as human testimonies.
About addictions that began with a single sleeping pill.
About silent diseases that destroy faster than pain.
About diagnoses that change entire families.
The author doesn't offer ready-made answers. Instead, she asks questions:
How long can a person go without sleep before they fall apart?
Why is it that the ones who seem healthy often look the most broken?
And can every case be healed - if not from illness, then from loneliness?
"Between Breath and Silence" is not just about medicine.
It's about humanity in its purest form - brutal, fragile, real.
For those who want to understand what it truly means to be a doctor.
And for those still searching for hope in the places where it's easiest to lose it.
