Do you know what your doctor really thinks or how your doctor
really feels about medicine and about you? The seeds lie in the
critical first few years of a medical education, and Dr. Robert
Marion, director of the Center for Congenital Disorders at the
Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, draws from his own
experiences as student, intern, and resident to provide some
surprising -- and sobering -- answers.
In the course of twenty gripping, illuminating, and extraordinarily
candid stories, Dr. Marion reveals the dehumanizing, slightly
insane, and often brutal process of medical training. You will
experience not only the intense pressure and chronic exhaustion of
the doctor-to-be, but also the price the patient must often pay.
While each story stands alone as an adventure in medicine, taken
together they are a call to change. With profound eloquence and
compassion, Dr. Marion explores ways in which to assure that
humanity and idealism survive the grueling and destructive path to
technical competency.
