What is good bedside manner? How do you tell patients they have a
terminal illness? What do you do after you have told them? How do
you deal with the family after a patient dies? How do you foster
good relationships with patients, nurses and other physicians? How
do you avoid burnout?Your answers to these and similar questions
will prove crucial to your medical career. Yet during my seven
years of medical school and residency, these issues were never
mentioned, much less dealt with. Some programs are now making
efforts to teach the human side of medicine, but medical training
today is not much different from mine. I intended Medicine with a
Human Touch to be a guide for medical students and residents in
dealing with these and similar non-technical problems. Yet numerous
practicing physicians who reviewed it remarked that we would all do
well to reexamine periodically how we are behaving in our everyday
practice.
