Quotes about Prognosis: Poor



"I loved reading this book as it brought back memories of training that should be revisited if we are to improve medical education and the care of patients—and physicians. As healers we can't give what we don't have. Medicine must provide a healthy and caring environment for our doctors-in-training to thrive as healers and people. Thanks for the memories and the insight!
And I love her practical suggestions at the end on how she made it through with her marriage intact!
​A great feat."

Pamela Wible, M.D.
