  THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH DR ANTHONY FAUCI, DAME SALLY DAVIES AND DR JIM DOWN 
  For every doctor there is that one patient, whose story touches them in a way they didn’t expect, changing their entire outlook on life. This inspiring and deeply moving book is the story of those patients. 
  Every weekend, in Holland’s most popular newspaper, de Volkskrant, renowned science-journalist Ellen de Visser asks a different medical professional to tell her about ‘that one patient’; the patient who changed everything for them. 
  Every day, in every country, thousands of patients share their stories with their doctors: stories they may never have told anyone else; stories that are heartbreaking, sometimes funny, and – just occasionally – unforgettable. To be able to do their job to the best of their abilities, medical experts use their ‘professional empathy’: they sympathize with their patients but try to keep themselves at a distance. But there is always that one patient who, for whatever reason, bridges this distance and often unwittingly, has a lasting impact on their doctor’s life. 
  There’s the dying patient whose decision to donate their organs would save the lives of five different people, bringing incredible comfort to the family they left behind. Or the little girl who showed clear evidence of having been beaten by an adult, but who remained too loyal to her step-father to say a word. There’s the little boy, diagnosed with life-threatening malaria in a Sudanese refugee camp, whose astonishing survival against the odds still inspires their doctor each time they stand by the bed of a child who looks unlikely to make it. And there’s the cancer patient whose love of cycling and unflagging optimism inspired his oncologist in ways he could never have imagined. 
  That One Patient is brimming with intimate stories of connection and of the unanticipated ways we can affect one other’s lives. All of them remind us of just how extraordinary humans can be, and of our incredible capacity for bravery, strength and humour. 
  In That One Patient, Ellen de Visser delves into the social aspects of caregiving, presenting a biography of sorts for each physician and their unforgettable patients. The top-notch autobiography style narrative brings to life the philosophy of death and life from a unique perspective. 
  For fans of Christie Watson (Quilt on Fire), Linda Watson-Brown (Sins of the Father), Henry Marsh (And Finally), Abraham Verghese (My Own Country), and Ed Patrick (Catch Your Breath).

  People form their first impression of you—and your business—in under a second. It’s a startling thought. Fortunately, online articles have a bit more leeway. Most web pages have just under a minute to capture visitors' attention and persuade them to stay or leave. 
  That said, sixty seconds isn’t much time. If you need to convince a new user that your content is worth their clicks and shares, you might think brevity is key. Surprisingly, that’s not always the case. To truly stand out in a crowded digital landscape and keep users engaged, long-form articles are the way to go.
