The essential book on hownotto 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 Doctorcombines humour, candour and the human touch to inform and entertain readers on both ends of the stethoscope.
