M.D./PhD

"This is a book I wish I had written. The anecdotes are obvioulsy true and there are many "pearls" for new/upcoming doctors that help to put certain aspects of medical practice into perspective . It is a very good illustration of every day, real life in medical practice without the basic science that is often overemphasized. Should be required reading in medical school". JWT, MD
