John Launer / How Not to Be a Doctor

Product Description

How not to be a Doctor offers a selection of fifty essays that have been published over the past few years by John Launer, a well known medical columnist and commentator on medicine and its relation to the arts, humanities and philosophy. The essays cover a wide range of topics including music, poetry, literature and psychoanalysis as well as contemporary medical politics and (most of all) the poignant personal experience of being a doctor.

The book is aimed to appeal to any doctor or medical student who believes that medicine is about more then ticking boxes, and that you cannot separate personal experiences from professional ones.

Combining literacy and erudition with humour, directness and a human touch, these essays will be a delight to read for the medical professional and the lay reader alike.
