Doktorun Çantasındaki Hikayeler

THE DOCTORS’ MEMORIES WILL WARM YOUR HEART

Meri İstiroti, Liv Hospital Group Coordinator with many years of experience as a senior executive in the healthcare sector, has penned the memories that the doctors who have been by our side throughout our lives have carried with them from their professional careers, in her new book titled “Doktorun Çantasındaki Hikayeler.”

Throughout our lives, both for ourselves and our loved ones, we have knocked on doctors’ doors time and again, entrusting them with our physical and mental health, the sole condition for our survival, and we heed their solutions and advice. Now we are going to read the memories that have left a mark on our doctors throughout their professional lives.

The thousand faces of medicine

Meri İstiroti, who said she tried, in the book she called “Doktorun Çantasındaki Hikayeler,” to hold up a mirror, however modestly, to doctors’ experiences, said: “After the courageous days, months and years we still haven’t left behind, we came to believe the pandemic was a turning point in our lives. I wanted to gather the good experiences of our heroes, who fought for health together through this difficult period throughout their careers, and turn them into a printed keepsake. Working in a healthcare institution, or rather living it, means accumulating many memories that touch life; having moments that make you smile as well as challenging minutes; witnessing many scenarios or traumas in a huge family, sometimes being a part of it, sometimes its fighter. In this book lie the “moments” of our physicians, the times when emotions ebbed and flowed, the tears that fell sometimes from happiness and sometimes from sorrow.”

The most cherished, most joyful moments

Meri İstiroti’s fourth book, “Doktorun Çantasındaki Hikayeler,” contains the stories of solutions produced by doctors, ranging from their years of mandatory service to the intensity of the emergency room, from difficult surgeries to miraculous recoveries and seemingly hopeless illnesses. Woven with labor, knowledge, dedication and patience, “Doktorun Çantasındaki Hikayeler” brings together the challenges and excitement of the medical profession, along with memories that are sometimes sad but mostly joyful, and is a candidate to become a bedside companion with stories that sometimes bring a smile and sometimes stir emotion, both instructive and full of lessons from our doctors.
