Paperback. In 1975, a young Cornishman walked into a Western Australian hospital and began a nursing career that would span five decades, three states, and some of the most remote communities on earth. Watch the Testicles is the memoir of Robin Moon, one of Australia's first university-educated male Nurse Practitioners. From psychiatric wards in Perth to Royal Flying Doctor aircraft over the Pilbara, from the Kimberley to the Kutjungka, from emergency departments to a fish and chip shop in Kalbarri, Robin's story takes the reader into the heart of Australian healthcare with unflinching honesty, dry humour, and deep compassion. Along the way, he delivers babies in standing positions, loses a patient at 10,000 feet, ventilates a German Shepherd with hospital equipment, confronts a gunman in a waiting room, and navigates the quiet bureaucratic destruction of a manager later convicted of child pornography. He cares for his dying parents, watches his grandson fight cancer, and receives his own diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, the same condition he first encountered as a seventeen-year-old student washing an elderly patient named Fred. This is a book about what it means to spend a lifetime caring for others and then, slowly, to become the one who needs care. It is about the intimacy of nursing, its physicality, its capacity for misunderstanding, and its necessity for clarity. It is about the dark humour that keeps healthcare workers sane, the friendships that sustain them, and the quiet courage of ordinary people doing extraordinary work. Watch the Testicles is essential reading for anyone who has ever cared for someone, been cared for, or wondered what happens on the other side of the hospital curtain. A 5 decade nursing memoir from one of Australia's first male Nurse Practitioners. Essential reading for anyone who has ever cared or been cared for This item is printed on demand.

Riassunto

In 1975, a young Cornishman walked into a Western Australian hospital and began a nursing career that would span five decades, three states, and some of the most remote communities on earth.

Watch the Testicles is the memoir of Robin Moon, one of Australia's first university-educated male Nurse Practitioners. From psychiatric wards in Perth to Royal Flying Doctor aircraft over the Pilbara, from the Kimberley to the Kutjungka, from emergency departments to a fish and chip shop in Kalbarri, Robin's story takes the reader into the heart of Australian healthcare with unflinching honesty, dry humour, and deep compassion.

Along the way, he delivers babies in standing positions, loses a patient at 10,000 feet, ventilates a German Shepherd with hospital equipment, confronts a gunman in a waiting room, and navigates the quiet bureaucratic destruction of a manager later convicted of child pornography. He cares for his dying parents, watches his grandson fight cancer, and receives his own diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, the same condition he first encountered as a seventeen-year-old student washing an elderly patient named Fred.

This is a book about what it means to spend a lifetime caring for others and then, slowly, to become the one who needs care. It is about the intimacy of nursing, its physicality, its capacity for misunderstanding, and its necessity for clarity. It is about the dark humour that keeps healthcare workers sane, the friendships that sustain them, and the quiet courage of ordinary people doing extraordinary work.

Watch the Testicles is essential reading for anyone who has ever cared for someone, been cared for, or wondered what happens on the other side of the hospital curtain.
