Book Description
Imagine being asked the question: ‘I’m not going blind, am I?’ A WARM Handshake is the real life story behind that question. It documents a meeting between an NHS photographer and a patient suspected of having a sight-threatening condition called wet Age-related Macular Degeneration, or wet AMD. Described as touching and heartfelt, A WARM Handshake is a human story – one seen from both sides of the lens. It is a story that will be of interest not only to those living with wet AMD, but to anyone interested in the challenge of growing old and the resilience of the human spirit. Reaction to the piece has been one of universal praise: ‘Dear all just read this and it is beautifully written. It clarifies to the uninitiated the purpose and true value of this work,’ (Deputy Divisional Manager, Surgery, Theatres and Anaesthetics).
