A world-renowned clinician, teacher, and researcher in cognitive
and behavioral neurology, Dr. Ken Heilman has found that stories of
his own initiation into the world of doctoring are one of the best
ways to engage students and trainees about the common professional,
medical, and ethical challenges they will face in daily practice.
The twenty-five stories gathered here span the author's first year
of clinical training at Bellevue Hospital during the 1960s
following his graduation from the University of Virginia School of
Medicine. That year- known in the past as internship or first-year
residency and now called post graduate year one- is recognized as
one of the most intellectually, emotionally, and physically
demanding in a physician's life. For the author, it was to hold the
most valuable lessons on caring for patients and to exert the
greatest lasting influence on how he practices medicine. Each story
in this book conveys a core lesson about the practice of medicine
and also tells a wonderful tale- about how the author contracted
tuberculosis because of a colleague's carelessness, a tough nurse
who was a great teacher, a cardiologist who missed a diagnosis
because of his arrogance, an acid-dropping ascetic who turned
tricks on the side, a fellow trainee caught in a lie, and, as
timeless a story as there ever was, the utter impossibility of
finding a parking spot in New York City, among others.
