But it's not, perhaps, the story you expect. Gavin Francis is a GP who works in both urban and rural communities, splitting his time between Edinburgh and the islands of Orkney.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the pandemic ripped through our society he saw how it affected every walk of life: the anxious teenager, the isolated care home resident, the struggling furloughed worker and homeless ex-prisoner, all united by their vulnerability in the face of a global disaster. And he saw how the true cost of the virus was measured not just in infections, or deaths, or ITU beds, but in the consequences of the measures taken against it. In this deeply personal account of nine months spent caring for a society in crisis, Francis will take you from rural village streets to local clinics and communal city stairways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd in telling this story, he reveals others: of loneliness and hope, illness and recovery, and of what we can achieve when we care for each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37650336546969,"sku":"9781788167321","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781788167321.jpg?v=1609429991","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781788167321","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
