Theresa Brown, oncology nurse, author, and breast cancer survivor, shares what she learned from her experience as a cancer patient. As she did in her book The Shift, Brown draws us into her work with the unforgettable details of her daily life—the needles, the chemo drugs, the rubber gloves, the frustrated patients—but from her new perch as a patient, she also takes a look back with rare candor at some of her own cases as a nurse and considers what she didn’t know then and what she could have done better. She shares her disappointments and triumphs and eloquently lays out what we need to do to be better at compassionate care.
