"This book should be required reading for all medical students, doctors, patients, and those of us who will be patients someday. In short, for everyone."

—Alice Hoffman

"The stories in The Soul of a Doctor offer a unique vantage on illness, life, and struggle—capturing in vivid glimpses that crucial moment in a doctor's life when one transitions from outsider to insider. The stories here are moving, eloquent, and often unforgettable."

—Atul Gawande, MD, author of Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science

"Will reassure skeptics concerned whether our technological age is reducing the humanity of those entering medicine. It also challenges faculty to see that our training and socializing of these young people does not, in fact, squeeze the juice out of them. These exquisite reflections make for the complete physician."

—Mitchell T. Rabkin, MD, author of the first hospital patients' bill of rights
