Listen to Dr. Maureen Mayhew on CBC's White Coat, Black Art
Dr. Maureen Mayhew, the author of Hand on My Heart: A Canadian Doctor's Awakening in Afghanistan, spoke with Dr. Brian Goldman from CBC's White Coat Black Art:
"Dr. Maureen Mayhew didn't always want to practice medicine in Afghanistan. When Doctors Without Borders offered her a nine-month contract to work there in 2000, Mayhew initially turned it down, only accepting after careful consideration. That began an almost decade-long connection with the country, which Mayhew captures in her book, Hand on My Heart: A Canadian Doctor's Awakening in Afghanistan. Though her work there was challenging, it changed both her outlook on medicine and her relationship with herself."
