Life Of Breath

We re-join Dr Jamie Carmichael in the Nineties, during the middle years of his respiratory medicine career. Heart-warming clinical tales are interspersed with near-misses, personal sacrifice and topped with bawdy and hilarious moments linked largely to conference season. The affliction of verbalising his personal thoughts aloud, continue to threaten Jamie's progression. In the contemporary timeline, the Consultant in the swan-song of his career is stricken with Covid Pneumonia, admitted to the hospital wards he worked in for 30 years, and threatened with his own mortality. Alice, a trainee registrar, takes it upon herself to provide personal care, with an honourable ulterior motive. Pathos abounds as she takes what might be the last chance to mine her role-model's knowledge.
