A hand holding a thick paperback book, which has a blue cover with the word "HARM" written in black letters crossed out with a red line repeated as a motif. The title is DO LESS HARM: ETHICAL QUESTIONS FOR HEALTH HISTORIANS edited by Courtney Thompson and Kylie Smith.
Came home to the best gift ever - a copy of my new book, edited with @drkyliesmith.bsky.social. This book is the culmination of years of fantastic conversations with some brilliant scholars, and I'm so thrilled to finally hold it in my hands. I might be prouder of this than my actual monograph. 1/
