What does it mean to be the perfect doctor? Are you a medical student hoping to be one, a patient who wants to have one, or someone curious about the human side of medicine? This collection of stories offers a glimpse into the diverse lives of doctors and illustrates that there are as many versions of perfect as there are people. The students, doctors, and patients in this book learn what the perfect doctor means to them through loss, humor, and reflection. Their elaborative, insightful, sometimes funny, and always heartfelt narratives can help you decide what the perfect doctor means to you.
Neurocritical care physician Dr. Sasha Yakhkind, MD, MS curated and edited this collection of 40 essays by patients, physicians and trainees about the diversity of perfection in medicine.
