It is 7 a.m. in the Cardiac Ward is both a gripping narrative and an instructive guide to understanding the importance of empathy for medical professionals and patients alike. Recounting his own prolonged illness and time spent in the hospital, author Dr. Kamal Malaker shifts his perspective from an experienced and highly regarded oncologist to that of a patient, thereby shedding light (through his detailed and evocative first-person narrative) on the schisms of difference between how doctors view the pain and illness of patients and how patients view their own condition. Presenting the patient-doctor relationship through the lens of his own experience of having been both, Dr. Malaker teaches the need for empathy- not just simply understanding- in the medical field, sharing biographical events and encounters that shaped his own thinking.
