Wallace, MD, dean emeritus, Dartmouth School of Medicine. "I would urge physicians, those who have experienced serious illness in their families, andmedical students to read this book." —Andrew G
True Tales of Real Compassion Linda G. Bunner A friend loaned me this book to read and I liked it so much I ordered two as gifts, one for a niece who is an ER doctor. She wants to 'pass it around' to her doctor friends. Touching, moving true tales of real compassion with real patients. You can read one chapter at a time, go back and pick it up to enjoy more chapters at your leisure.. "I love this book!" according to Placido Pasquale. Were the great Hollywood film director alive, Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life) would have optioned this great book filled with life-affirming stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Capra would have loved the multi-generational epic story of Anna.Sure this wonderful little book deals with life, death, and serious illness, but the reader is left feeling optimistic.And the authors inform, move, amuse, and amaze us. You can't make this stuff up.I hope they write a sequel. I'm buying this one for everyone on my long Christmas list.. Robert C. Grozier said Excellent book for those dug deep in the medical maze.

The "gold standard" of doctoring is written about in the pages of this book by two excellent authors who are doctors themselves. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has chronic medical problems.

Particular attention is paid to the knowledge doctors can gain from listening to their patients, and how that wisdom can be applied to help that patient as well as others. Anecdotes illustrate the
