N2  - "The striking debut memoir from award-winning doctor and writer, Emma Espiner"--Publisher information; "“I don't know why medicine felt like coming home but, for some reason, it fits. I keep thinking about how the tohu, once awarded, can never be taken back. There are few things in life that emphatic. Better not fuck it up. ”From award-winning writer Dr Emma Espiner comes this striking and profound debut memoir Encompassing whānau, love, death, ’90s action movies and scarfie drinking, There";s a cure for this is Espiner's own story, from a childhood spent shuttling between a ‘purple lesbian state house and a series of man-alone rentals’ to navigating parenthood on her own terms; from the quietly perceived inequities of her early life to hard-won revelations as a Māori medical student and junior doctor during the Covid-19 pandemic. Clear, irreverent and beautiful, this book offers a candid and moving examination of what it means to be human when it seems like nothing less than superhuman will do."--Back cover
