October 10, 2026. 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Munro’s Books; 1108 Government St., Victoria, BC.
“Newman writes unforgettable stories of humanity that span continents and cultures, from Canada to the Caribbean and the Middle East, and from the Arctic to the Amazon to Africa. He has practiced comprehensive, cradle-to-the-grave medicine in peacetime and war, and is well known for his humanitarian work. He has also been sought after as an expert to assess other doctors’ standards of care.
Writing of his own doubts and feelings, Newman reflects on what it means to be human and vulnerable—for his patients, and himself. ‘In Harm’s Way’ is a blend of medical dilemmas and vivid journeys. The gripping encounters reveal a dedicated doctor who reaches out to connect with the hearts of strangers, and who treats the whole person in an era where technology is crowding out the human side of medicine.”
