When Doctors Get Sick
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Have you ever wondered how your doctor thinks and feels about disease? The prctice of medicine? You - the patient? Here is a collection of candid accounts by physicians of their personal experiences with serious illness, loss of control, and our health care delivery system. Honest, straightforward, and sometimes even humorous, the doctors who tell their stories in this book reveal the human side of the medical profession. They describe their experiences with other doctors, their trials and tribulations in coping with their own medical crises, and the effects that illness had on their families and associates. Each doctor offers his or her candid opinion of the health-care system as perceived by the doctor as patient. Read not only about diseases themselves - such as brain tumor, AIDS, and depression - but about how it feels to be a patient, what it means to be a "sick" doctor, how doctors treat their ill colleagues, and, perhaps more than anything else, what it is like to be an accomplished, achieving, energtic, and exceptionally responsible doctor forced to give up control and become a patient. --- from book's ductjacket
