Most people will, at some point or another, either find themselves
dressed in a tiny hospital gown or staring at someone else dressed
in a tiny hospital gown. Whether from the perspective of a patient,
a family member, or a medical professional, we all have a
significant stake in the process of medical education. While
numerous memoirs recount physicians' grueling experiences during
residency, few focus on the even more formative portion of medical
training: the third year of medical school-the clinical year. Short
White Coat: Lessons from Patients on Becoming a Doctor is the
disarmingly honest, yet endearing and sometimes funny account of a
medical student's humbling initiation into the world of patient
care.
Written during his third year of medical school at the
University of Pennsylvania, James Feinstein's Short White Coat uses
a series of engaging narrative essays to illustrate the universal
life lessons that his very first patients teach him. He gracefully
examines some of the most common issues and feelings that medical
students encounter while learning how to meet, talk with, touch,
and care for their patients. Along the way, he learns from his own
mistakes before discovering the answer to the question that plagues
every medical student: "Do I have what it takes to become a
doctor?"
