Obstetrician-gynecologist Nancy Mullion must go before a medical tribunal to evaluate whether she can continue to practice medicine after performing a botched surgery that put a patient in a critically ill coma. The reader can almost feel Nancy's anxiety over her patient's prognosis and whether she will be "undoctored." This doctor tackles her profession as an abortion provider head-on for the first time during four weeks of rigorous questioning and allegations. She explains how it saves lives while having a devastating effect on her own. Creating an emotionally charged depiction of one woman's life, Dirty Work weaves together recollections of Nancy's childhood and youth in both England and America, She is liberated, as all women can be, by the sharing of stories that seem impossible to tell. Gabriel Weston has written a work that is incredibly unique, brave, and profound.
