From psychiatric wards in Perth to Royal Flying Doctor aircraft over the Pilbara, from the Kimberley to the Kutjungka, from emergency departments to a fish and chip shop in Kalbarri, Robin's story takes the reader into the heart of Australian healthcare with unflinching honesty, dry humour, and deep compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, he delivers babies in standing positions, loses a patient at 10,000 feet, ventilates a German Shepherd with hospital equipment, confronts a gunman in a waiting room, and navigates the quiet bureaucratic destruction of a manager later convicted of child pornography. He cares for his dying parents, watches his grandson fight cancer, and receives his own diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, the same condition he first encountered as a seventeen-year-old student washing an elderly patient named Fred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about what it means to spend a lifetime caring for others and then, slowly, to become the one who needs care. It is about the intimacy of nursing, its physicality, its capacity for misunderstanding, and its necessity for clarity. It is about the dark humour that keeps healthcare workers sane, the friendships that sustain them, and the quiet courage of ordinary people doing extraordinary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatch the Testicles is essential reading for anyone who has ever cared for someone, been cared for, or wondered what happens on the other side of the hospital curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49068067619064,"sku":"9780646729695","price":25.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/frROkT-6rd9780646729695.webp?v=1781718618","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/watch-the-testicles-and-other-lessons-from-a-life-in-nursing-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
