Many physicians seem less than human in their ability to connect with the sick and dying. The problem is traceable to how these men and women are trained. This tale of one man’s medical education in the US, illuminates the administer whereby idealistic young people become doctors, often bringing up the rear their compassion and empathy by the side of the way. Marion’s writing style is to some extent pedestrian but his thought is vital: revamp medical training so that those who earn the aptly to be called doctor, retain some measure of their humanity.

Hard to place down book about what the author went through to become a medical doctor. The author reveals of what he went through to really be accepted into a medical school (which really included leaving the people), and what medical school is like. He frequently concentrates on his internship and residency. A real eye opener on what doctors go through and how the patients pay for it

I really loved this book! Dr. Marion is very honest about his experiences. The tales are sometimes disturbing and sad, but sometimes pleased and they are well written. This book is much better than White Coat by Dr. Rothman because it is much more honest. When I read this book, I felt like I was aptly there with Dr. Marion.
