Summary
‘I was now a patient. And I was going to be a patient for the rest of my life. I couldn't compute how this had happened. I was a doctor… I didn't get a diagnosis, I gave them.'
How do you know when you are ill? Are you in pain? Or just aware that something isn't quite right. But you do know, don't you?
Dr. Clara Doran had been learning about illness and what it looks, sounds and smells like for years when she had to ask herself that question. Doctor, Interrupted tells the story of how she found the answer.
Clara's story begins with frightening symptoms that reveal themselves weeks into her maternity leave. She soon discovers her nervous system and immune system are attacking each other, and before returning to work as a GP, Clara is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
As she navigates life with a chronic illness, being a new mother and caring for her patients, she learns first hand how important the way we live and treat ourselves is to both physical and mental health.
Can she remain on her planned path when her landscape now looks different? Following a further deterioration in her health, she finally realises that the answer to feeling better is within her. She just had to be able to hear it.

A beautifully written and powerful insight into living with MS
Thank you Dr Clara for sharing your story in such a moving book. After listening to this I can imagine you doing a Ted talk about your experiences.

Gripping Listen
This is an amazing book that I couldn't put down since I opened it 2 days prior. It had me gripped and interested throughout and a lot of Clara's stories resonated with experiences I went through in life. The compassion and care is next to none and I would be privileged to have had Clara as my doctor in a previous life.

Inspirational
Doctor, Interrupted by Clara Doran is a simple yet powerful story about how a doctor’s life changes when she becomes a patient. Clara shares her experience of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, showing how she juggled her illness, work as a doctor, and life as a new mam .
The book is honest and easy to relate to, shedding light on what it feels like to be on the other side of healthcare. It’s an inspiring read for anyone, especially those curious about living with a chronic illness or working in medicine. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen.

This book has given me a fresh new outlook on life. The story had me crying, laughing and everything in between as the author tells of the curveballs life has thrown her and I am so inspired by her resilience and strength.

Moving, entertaining and brilliantly told
Really excellent book. Very well written and read. Clara’s story will resonate with anyone with personal or family experience in healthcare on either side of the patient or doctor divide. Her story is told with great humility and compassion and makes a really excellent listen. Highly recommended.

We all need to listen to ourselves more
What an uplifting and insightful account of the authors journey into medicine (becoming a GP) and how she has come to terms with a life altering diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. It’s a very warm book, beautifully narrated by the author herself, and has life lessons for all of us on how to deal with setbacks we may face in our everyday lives. ❤️ download and listen, you will not be disappointed
