Walking wounded / Sheila Llewellyn. by Llewellyn, Sheila. Sceptre, 2018. Call #: FICTION LLE Subjects Soldiers -- Great Britain -- Fiction.   Military psychiatry -- Fiction.   Psychiatric hospital patients -- Fiction.   Medical personnel and patient -- Fiction.   Post-traumatic stress disorder -- Fiction.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Psychological aspects -- Fiction.   England -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781473663077 (hc.) Description:  264 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Daniel stared at the white-ish brain matter clinging to the haft and clogging up the eye of the needle. Can it really be as easy as that - to scrape out someone's depression, their melancholy, their anxiety? To scrape out someone's emotions? Set in Northfield, an understaffed military psychiatric hospital immediately before the NHS is founded, Walking Wounded is the story of a doctor and his patient: David Reece, a young journalist-to be whose wartime experiences in Burma have come back to haunt him violently; and Daniel Carter, one of the senior psychiatrists, a man who is fighting his own battles as well as those of his patients. Based closely on extensive research and inspired by the author's own experience treating victims of PTSD, this moving and impressive debut explores violence and how much harm it does to those forced to inflict it in the name of war. It also captures the dilemmas of the medics themselves as they attempt to 'fix' their patients, each of whom raise the question of what has happened to their humanity, what can be done to help them, and what we are willing to sacrifice in the name of healing." --Publisher description.
