Doctors Cry, Too
is a collection of essays from the heart of physician Frank H. Boehm, M.D. This moving and inspirational book deals with issues surrounding doctors, nurses, patients, their loved ones, and the perplexing issues that relate to these individuals. These essays portray a medical profession that is sensitive, emotional, spiritual, and compassionate.

They include special moments in the life of Dr. Frank Boehm, such as a son and daughter going off to college, coping with the personal grief of losing loved ones, the birth of a granddaughter, and the healing that comes from joy. The essays also address his point of view on such subjects as strength and courage, faith, happiness, depression, forgiveness, death and dying, friendship, the heartbreak of infertility, parenting, and medical expectations.

It is the author’s hope that this book will help you understand that doctors are subject to the same stresses and pressures of life as everyone else, and that by gaining insight into the heart of one physician, you will gain insight into the heart of many.
