I had no time for makeup and wore a crushed heart on my sleeve. My life was up in the air. Being a flying doctor grounded me. I went underground to rescue a miner trapped in a rock fall and flew across the outback to treat a critically ill baby. I learned that medicine was not all life and death experiences – it was the quiet moments when you gained a patient’s trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was not Elizabeth Green’s destiny to be a doctor. Raised in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, her mother a teacher and her father a priest, the career options open to her were limited. But against the odds of the time and her upbringing, she was accepted to study medicine. The course was set for a life of extremes, one that would see her return to the remote places that shaped her, and grapple with life and death in the Australian Outback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo Time for Makeup\u003c\/em\u003e is a raw, unguarded insight into medical life. It is about the light and the dark sides of providing life-saving care. The complexities of practising in a time of unprecedented social change. The conflicts of being a working parent. The quiet moments of gaining a patient’s trust and being inspired to become a better doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46628059578604,"sku":"9781923011090","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781923011090.jpg?v=1751933653","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/no-time-for-makeup-by-dr-elizabeth-green-9781923011090","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
