The essential book on how not to be a doctor - and how to be a
better one. Drawn from his popular medical columns over the years,
John Launer shares fifty of his best-loved essays, covering topics
from essentials skills they don't teach you in medical school to
his poignant account of being a patient himself as he received
treatment for a life-threatening illness. Taken together, the
stories make the case that being a doctor should mean drawing on
every aspect of yourself, your interests and your experiences no
matter how remote they seem from the medical task at hand. How Not
to Be a Doctor combines humour, candour and the human touch to
inform and entertain readers on both ends of the stethoscope.
***PRAISE FOR HOW NOT TO BE A DOCTOR*** 'An essential read... It is
a gem.' Dr. Fiona Moss, CBE, Dean of the Royal Society of Medicine
'This collection is warm, wise, generous, thoughtful and
thought-provoking... imbued with a moving humanity which offers
inspiration and reassurance in equal measure.' Dr. Deborah Bowman,
MBE, BBC Broadcaster and Professor of Medical Ethics and Law 'Witty
and wise. Shows how important it is that doctors are allowed to be
human.' Kit Wharton, author of Emergency Admissions: Memoirs of an
Ambulance Driver 'An all-round excellent book, which would appeal
to a wide range of healthcare professionals and students... a
light-hearted way of looking at serious subjects.' BMA Panel of
Judges 'I raced through this book, laughing, nodding, highlighting
and then read some favourite bits again. Every chapter has a gem of
wisdom as well as being so very elegantly written and
entertaining.' Jenny Rogers, Co-Author of Coaching for Health
'Bursting with wonder and wisdom, this seductively readable book
imparts courage and joy in equal measure.' Dr. Iona Heath, CBE.
Former President, Royal College of General Practitioners and author
of The Mystery of General Practice 'Gets to the heart and soul of
current medical practice. Written by a doctor, but incorporates
life experience and wisdom, making it an easy, thought provoking
read.' Professor Jane Dacre, President of the Royal College of
Physicians
