Overview

White Coat Blue Gown By Dr. Barbara Tatham Dr. Barbara Tatham was a gifted physician, educator, and passionate advocate for compassionate care. A brilliant young doctor with a dream to teach medicine, Barbara's life was tragically cut short when she passed away from metastatic sarcoma cancer in 2019. Yet in the face of illness, she lived with extraordinary purpose, joy, and love. In White Coat Blue Gown, Barbara offers a deeply human, dual perspective on medicine-first as a dedicated doctor, then as a patient navigating the brutal realities of cancer. This moving memoir is a testament to resilience, empathy, and the profound beauty of life, even when it is fleeting. Highlights include: A rare, deeply honest portrayal of life both inside the hospital as a physician and inside the patient's room as someone fighting for her own life The fierce willpower that carried Barbara through multiple grueling surgeries-including one that removed part of her skull-in the hope of having just one more day A poignant call to cherish every moment and reject shame around illness-a message Barbara championed for patients and lived herself Personal reflections that continue to inspire: ""Maybe those who endure illness are actually stronger... Maybe they find a life with the most beautiful love."" Barbara's voice lives on in these pages, reminding us that life is precious, vulnerability is strength, and love never truly dies.
