True Tales of What Our Lives as Doctors Have Taught Us About Love, Faith
and Healing
In light of the escalating costs of healthcare in the U.S. and the
on-going debate about appropriate health insurance reform, it's easy
to forget about the human side of medicine and the importance of the
doctor-patient relationship. In Uncommon Wisdom, neurologists
John Castaldo and Lawrence Levitt share what they have learned in
their many years as doctors, not just from tests and labs, but from
years of listening and learning from their patients.
These 16 tales show doctors as human beings: flawed and full of doubt, wonder, and reverence about what it means to be alive. The stories remind us that the medical profession should be about treating people with the dignity they deserve and that medical miracles don't always involve medicine. These doctors find cures, solve mysteries, and glean many lessons from listening deeply to their patients.
