A collection of essays from doctors about being, you know, doctors. It was okay. Some of the essays were terrific and some of them were boring. I identified with the essay about the young female doctor who was caring for a patient with multiple organ failure with the family that was in denial, and expressing their confusion and grief by being angry. I was bewildered by the story by the doctor who watched a patient who had reached the end of possible treatment die, and walked away feeling like a failure.
