Recensioner i media

The social context of medicine is changing - not only the hospitals and managed care organizations, but also the individuals who inhabit this complex system. Living Professionalism uses the power of individual narratives to bring life to the current concerns about professionalism in medicine. Students, teachers, and patients open their lives and reveal the personal and professional struggles they face. These revelations bring back to earth the lofty debate on professionalism, and open this complex world so others can learn from the common, the complex, and the embarrassing moments of students and physicians. This book not only illuminates our understanding of today's care providers, but also provides a text for those healthcare providers who are willing to reflect on their own dilemmas of professionalism.
