Download books file now The Soul of a Doctor: Harvard Medical Students Face Life and Death from with Mediafire Link Download Link By the time most of us meet our doctors, they’ve been in practice for a number of years. Often they seem aloof, uncaring, and hurried. Of course, they’re not all like that, and most didn’t start out that way.
Here are voices of third-year students just as they begin to
take on clinical responsibilities. Their words focus on the odd transition students face when they must deal with real people in real time and in real crises and when they must learn to put aside their emotions to make quick, accurate, and sensitive decisions. Their decisions aren’t always right, and the consequences can be life-altering—for all involved. Moving, disturbing, and candid, their true stories show us a side of the profession that few ever see, or could even imagine. They show, often painfully, how medical students grow up, right at the bedside.

I loved the book. These writers allow you to witness and feel first hand the amazing transformation medical students experience as they begin to treat patients. Just as having a child or losing a loved one can dramatically change your life and perspective, so can being responsible for another person's health. It makes quite an impact to be responsible for patients when they are not well, scared and/or facing some of the biggest decisions and best and worst moments of their life. The book moved me to hearty laughter, stunned silence and times when tears streamed down my cheeks. I woke up my husband in the middle of the night to read one of the poems to him. It is the perfect gift for someone entering medical school but relevant and can be enjoyed by anyone. I highly recommend this book.By C. P. Lincoln
all of the true stories in this book have promise - they are interesting and thought provoking but unfortunately, the writers never follow through with the outcomes. You meet a patient, find out their problem - usually involving some sort of dillema for the dr. - they make their point but the outcome is left out. Did the patient die? They never say. (even a brief update after the essay would make a difference).By Susan Laplant
