![]() She shows us, chapter by chapter, what it means to practice emergency medicine as both a Black doctor encountering racism and a person who has witnessed and survived terrible abuse. Michele Harper’s memoir challenges this one-dimensional portrait of physicians by excavating her own personal history, holding it up to the light, and pushing her readers to do the same. Though we tend to the vulnerable night and day, we physicians must find ways to suppress our own humanity and vulnerability while on the job. Yet I am keenly aware that my own humanity, in all of its beauty and brokenness, is not allowed in the rooms where I minister to patients and teach my colleagues how to balance a respect for personhood with invasive, painful ways of treating illness with medications and machines. As a writer and a palliative medicine physician myself, I help patients retain their humanity by helping them to articulate what matters most to them in the face of illness and death. We are chastised for being robotic or standoffish, yet our professionalism might be questioned if we cry in front of a colleague or patient. We are both expected to play God and admonished for thinking we are God. ![]() Doctors inhabit a strange place in American society. ![]()

For instance the ‘terrorists’ who group themselves around Verloc are all hopelessly inadequate beings who have very little political effect. This occurs where there an obviously funny disparity between something intended and the result. In fact he employs several types of irony throughout the novel, much of it for grim effect. The sub-title of the novel is ‘A Simple Tale’ – which itself is deeply ironic, because the story is anything but simple.Ĭonrad is celebrated for his use of irony, and he lays it on very thick indeed inThe Secret Agent. Here Conrad prefigures all the ambiguities which surround two-faced international relations, duplicitous State realpolitik, and terrorist outrage which still beset us a hundred years later. The English government and police are subject to sustained criticism, and the novel bristles with some wonderfully orchestrated effects of dramatic irony – all set in the murky atmosphere of late Victorian London. It is based on the real incident of a bomb attack on the Greenwich Observatory in 1888 and features a cast of wonderfully grotesque characters: Verloc the lazy double agent, Inspector Heat of Scotland Yard, and the Professor – an anarchist who wanders through the novel with bombs strapped round his waist and the detonator in his hand. The Secret Agent (1907) is a short novel and a masterpiece of sustained irony. ![]() Tutorial, commentary, study resources, and web links ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2016, Nasty Gal filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
