JUNE 8th to JUNE 22nd, 2011
DOCTOR CONFIDENTIAL
by RICHARD SHEFF, M.D.
SYNOPSIS:
In the hushed stillness of a late night hospital room, confronted with a dead patient and an ethical dilemma, Dr. Sheff wonders, “What’s love got to do with medicine?” The answer he finds for himself in that darkest of hours, and now shares with all of us in Doctor Confidential, is “Everything!”
From the unique perspective of a nationally respected, mature physician, Dr. Sheff reflects deeply on the formative experiences of medical school and residency, giving the reader unexpected insights into the heart and mind of doctors, the experience of patients and their families, and ultimately the connection between love, medical practice, and the healing we all seek. The unique stories in Doctor Confidential speak directly to anyone in medical training or considering a career in medicine, but also to the patient in all of us. Pulling back the veil of secrecy that too often surrounds medicine, Doctor Confidential provides compassion, humor, and ultimately hope that, when sick and most vulnerable, each of us can be heard, understood, and deeply touched by our physician.

I am an RN. I worked for over 30 years in a hospital in Portland, OR. If you are young and starting out this is a great profession to have. It is flexible, you can make your own hours, you can travel etc, etc, It is a hard working job. There are so many fields you can work in. Rita Spratlen rj_angel_house@yahoo.com

I've worked in the Mental Health Field and enjoyed it. Working as a Nurse or Doctor I could not handle that.

In high school the counselor asked if I would like to becone a doctor. I didn't consider it. I haven't really wanted to work in the medical field. Now looking back I might consider becoming an optermist. garrettsambo@aol.com
