Conversations During Working Hours

The heroine of this book found herself a medical worker completely unexpectedly. After moving to Israel, she, with a degree in physics, underwent special training and got a job in the radiation department of the Oncology Institute at the Jerusalem Medical Center. Its staff and patients share the same concerns as ordinary people outside the clinic, but their experiences are much denser: recovery and death, fear and laughter, money and wisdom, anxiety and relief, courage and helplessness — all of this is present here every hour and every minute, intertwining into a single nerve knot. The mosaic of impressions and stories from hospital wards and corridors forms the 'Notes of a Medical Physicist.' The book also includes other tales about men and women dedicated to their work and profession. Their heroes live in different eras and countries, but they are all unique in their own way, and the stories that happen to them will never seem dull to anyone.
