Poignant tales that show what forms the fabric of today's physicians. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePracticing neurologist Frederic A. Mendelsohn takes you on an insider's journey through the sometimes startling landscape of American medicine today. Inspired by his own encounters during thirty-five years of clinical practice, Mendelsohn's stories range from the tragic to the droll, but each speaks in some way to the incredible strength of the human spirit. Here's a taste of the remarkable stories in A Doctor's Journey: \"Searching for Salvation\" - A teenage boy is seriously injured in a boating accident, but the effects of his accident are even greater on the boy who injured him. \"Casanova Complex\" - A gifted surgeon who looks like Tom Cruise - \"if Tom Cruise were on steroids\" - gets an unexpected fifteen minutes of fame while romping with a hospital nurse. \"Wally the Whale\" - A tale about several epileptic patients, but mostly about Wally, an unforgettable character who tries to murder the good doctor. \"Angela's Angel\" - A young woman, critically injured in a motor vehicle accident, makes a miraculous recovery, but the infant daughter of her angelic sister - who has been part of that recovery -- suffers a heartbreaking medical tragedy of her own. \"Mambo Mendez\" - Part confessional, part memoir, part introduction to the author's musical heritage, this story shows the struggle of blending family life with the rigors of a medical practice. Mendelsohn also explores the notion that a strong background in Debussy, Ravel and Satie may do as much to prompt the mental creativity and flexibility essential to successful doctoring as does a comprehensive training in phrenic nerves and conversion disorders.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 162\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 06, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47689874243843,"sku":"9781432769390","price":48.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/NGpwL2NMZC8xZEoyU2dUN3FkcHI4dz09.webp?v=1769579724","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-nl\/products\/a-doctors-journey-a-collection-of-memoirs-hardcover","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
