Reflections and insights on health, disease, and healing
"A Piece of My Mind" brings together revealing personal essays that
first appeared in The Journal of the American Medical Association
(JAMA). These engrossing, moving vignettes--written by physicians,
patients, family members, medical students, and others--offer a
unique glimpse into the everyday experiences and relationships in
the medical world.
Baring their souls and opening their hearts, the authors share
their most personal moments, stories, and observations. You'll hear
from the intern who could not hide her emotions, earning reprimand
from her supervisors but appreciation from her patients . . . meet
an alcoholic whose indomitable spirit helped her defy all the odds
. . . experience the heartbreaking comedy of a Monday morning HIV
clinic . . . be inspired by the oncology social worker who found a
new love of life during her own struggle with breast cancer . . .
and learn from the physician who realized that by witnessing her
patients' courage she became a better physician.
Compelling, touching, and at times humorous, "A Piece of My Mind"
offers a deeper understanding of physicians, patients, medicine,
and the simple human act of helping another person.
""These stories, based in science, are transmitted to readers . . .
after filtering through a human heart . . . consistently succeeds
in bridging science and the humanities.""
--William H. Foege, MD, Emory University
