Man with the Iron Tattoo and Other True Tales of Uncommon Wisdom

Viewing 13 medical cases through the eyes of two physicians during their internships and throughout their careers, this examination of Western medicine argues that doctors need to learn to deal more effectively and sensitively with both the medical and nonmedical needs of patients. Particular attention is paid to the knowledge doctors can gain from listening to their patients and how that wisdom can be applied to help the patient-- and help others. Anecdotes illustrate the wisdom of asking for help from colleagues, the role that intuition can play, and the positive power of hope.Castaldo, John E. is the author of 'Man with the Iron Tattoo and Other True Tales of Uncommon Wisdom', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933771243 and ISBN 1933771240.
