Book Description
People decide to go to medical school for all kinds of reasons, most of them bad, some downright terrible: "My parents want me to be a doctor""Ummm, seemed like a better idea than law school?""Prestige, yo!""Cashmoney make it rain, baby""Job security! I'll always have a job, and nobody can fire me""I wanna help people!""Couldn't think of anything else to do with my life"Wrong, wrong, and so wrong. But hey, I don't blame you. 'Cause you've never been a doc. How can you possibly know what it's like? Like parenting, nobody really knows what they're getting into until they've done it themselves.That's why you need to hear from the people who've already been through the experiences you're seeking to have: med students and doctors who have contributed the 70 or so short pieces to this book. You¿ll hear from the disillusioned orthopedist of 14 years; the guy who goes to med school after 10 years in the military; the chief resident who quits in his final year; the 58-year old cardiologist with heartache; the blissfully content rural doc; the 35-year old obstetrician/gynecologist who suddenly feels stuck and can¿t escape; med students, residents, and dozens more, from both the pro and con contingents. This way, you get a flavor for what a medical career is like in each phase of training and practice. The book has eight sections: 1) Introduction and my essays. 2) ¿The Voice of Reason,¿ featuring balanced, well-reasoned pieces on what it means to be a doctor, with both the pluses and minuses from practicing physicians.3 &4) Pieces from medical students, residents and practicing physicians who are pro and con a medical career.5) Lifestyle and relationship issues in the context of a medical career.6) Interviews with two practicing physicians. One is Dr Dean Ornish, a well-known physician and an eloquent proponent of medicine if there ever was one. 7) Alternatives to medicine: naturopathy, physical therapy, pharmacy, physician¿s assistant, research, nurse practitioner, osteopathy, veterinary school, biomedical engineering. 8) Further resources.

Being a physician is an amazing privilege, and it can be a deeply rewarding career...but first you have to get through medical school.

Thriving in medical school requires more than smarts--it requires new learning strategies, organization, time management, teamwork skills, mentorship, adaptability, resilience, and more. This book brings together advice from medical educators, practicing physicians, and current medical students to help new medical students not just survive medical school but handle the transition with grace and position them to succeed and thrive.

Book Description
In his time the most famous physician in the world, Canadian-born William Osler (1849-1919) is still the best-known figure in the history of medicine. This new, definitive biography by Michael Bliss is the first full-scale life of Osler to appear since 1925. An award-winning medical historian, Bliss draws on many untapped sources to recreate Osler's life and medical times for a new generation of readers. Born at Bond Head, north of Toronto, Osler rose from obscurity to become the greatest medical teacher and writer in three countries. At Canada's McGill University, America's Johns Hopkins University, and finally as regius professor at Oxford, Osler was idolized by two generations of medical students and practitioners, for whom he came to personify the ideal doctor. His quest was to bring high standards and scientific methods into general practice in the medical world and to give teaching hospitals a solid place in the education of doctors. The publication of his book, The Principles and Practice of Medicine (1892), established him as the authority of modern medicine, a position he held well into the new century. Osler was revered as the high priest of the advent of twentieth-century medicine. In this fine biography, Michael Bliss animates the epic quality of Osler's life - not only in telling his personal story, but in setting that story against the dramatic backdrop of the coming of modern medicine. Winner of the Jason A. Hannah Medal, awarded by the Royal Society of Canada and the Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine
