sometimes you read a book and tell yourself you wish you could write with such wisdom (not, of course, c.s. lewis' books, or bonhoeffer's, which you read and then simply surrender to superior wisdom and poetry.)
this is such a book. he writes with wisdom and poetry on a swathe of topics but especially on topics close to my experience and frustration - the limitations of our self-important constructs as doctors the effectiveness (and otherwise) of our hallowed ways of doing things in healthcare and the song we sing in human to human discourse.
this be a book practicing doctors ought to read, if only to get us more in touch with other people's painful reality.
