The Language of Kindness: A Nurse’s Story Audiobook (Free)

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Language of Kindness: A Nurse’s Story, written and go through by Christie Watson.

Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Acquiring us from birth to loss of life and from A&E to the mortuary, The Vocabulary of Kindness can be an astonishing account of a profession defined by functions of care, compassion and kindness.

We view Christie while she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it during the night, we stand by her aspect during her patient’s agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to take away the toxic smell of smoke prior to the grieving family arrive.

Inside our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, coach and friend. And in these dark days of department and isolationism, she promotes us all to stretch out a hand.
