Sometimes caring for patients can leave clinicians feeling overwhelmed with the daily tasks of doctoring. As an antidote, this book explores principles and assumptions of modern medicine seldom taught in medical school. Starting with the meaning of suffering and how the â€science’ of medicine has evolved, the authors use many clinical stories to provide a fresh perspective on the work and roles of the modern doctor.
Based on many years of teaching family physicians, the book argues that being a doctor is much more than simply knowing biomedical facts and having good clinical skills. It explores some of the major challenges facing physicians, including the doctor–patient relationship, the â€heartsink’ experience, and unwell patients for whom no disease can be found. The authors also introduce patient safety and self-care, two important issues for modern health professionals.
For experienced doctors as well as for students and doctors in training, Being a Doctor moves beyond biomedicine, providing useful insights that explain how both doctors and patients think and behave.

These shoes adequately do the job they're meant to do
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
For shoes to wear daily for work, these are absolutely perfect. I give four stars simply because they are not 100% perfect; that is, they are a reflection of their cost and durability. With that said, these shoes are perfect for my role as a professor AND a person who walks half a mile from the train station to class and back 5x a week. Comfortable. Nice cushion on the heel. And they look really amazing - classy but not pretentious. I bought a second pair a week after the first just so I could have different colors, and it is likely I will get a third pair. For $40-ish dollars, they do the job they're meant to and they do it well. This picture shown are the originals I bought, but I also got the black pair, too.

Great shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Grey
I saw people wearing shoes like this in the office (maybe not the same brand), so I ordered a pair to see how they feel. They feel amazing. It's basically sneaker that look ok to be worn with pants and sport jacket. Fit is great, I ordered my usual size and they fit nicely.
Sole is thick enough to make them comfortable, not too thick to looks like a sport sneaker. Durability seems ok, wore them couple of times, so I can't really tell, but they seems like they can last long time.

Love these shoes
Size: 9.5, Color: Grey
These shoes are soft, comfy, and easy on and off. They breathe in the summer heat and feel good on a cool evening. They run true to size and the colors are like they are represented. I recommend this brand for a good looking, inexpensive shoe.

Comfortable shoes that still look presentable
Size: 12, Color: Black
I wanted a pair of shoes that were more presentable than regular sneakers but did not feel like stiff dress shoes, and these fit that role well. They have the look of a casual oxford, but the mesh upper makes them feel much lighter and easier to wear. That makes them useful for days when I want to look a little more put-together without sacrificing comfort. They are breathable, easy to walk around in, and work well with casual outfits. The only thing I’d keep in mind is that the mesh material can take a little extra care to keep clean, but that is a reasonable tradeoff for the comfort.

Summertime Comfort
Size: 6.5, Color: Light/Brown
My husband has a small foot and the shoe was a perfect fit for him, size 6 1/2. Normally this is a difficult size to find in a shoe. He was very pleased with the color and weight of the fabric. The fabric is breathable and lightweight. The shoes are very well constructed with a nice solid heel and sole. They are a perfect summertime shoe. The shoes will go well with shorts or casual trousers.
