In her frequent contributions to the <i>New York Times</i>, she takes on a host of issues particular to the life of a doctor--secrecy, ethics, fear, grief, and competition--with a warmth and wit her readers have come to love. Now, in the newest addition to Basic's ART OF MENTORING SERIES, she offers her guidance, and her stories, to a new generation of doctors and readers. 111923 2007 Letters to a Young Doctor (Art of Mentoring) total:35|5:11|4:11|3:11|2:2| 35 136 49 7 5 1 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 13:37:05 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 13:40:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jun 19 13:18:23 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 13:21:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 14:51:56 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 14:55:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 22 15:11:06 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 15:11:29 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Sep 19 08:44:56 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 09:16:36 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 17:29:50 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 17:31:41 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jul 10 14:53:40 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 14:54:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 18:54:05 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 18:54:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 15:09:14 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 15:35:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 19 13:33:18 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 13:33:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 02 22:05:43 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 22:05:43 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 02 17:50:46 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 17:03:56 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 17:50:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 24 14:53:09 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 14:53:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 04 04:58:34 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 04:58:34 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat May 09 16:47:50 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 23:20:49 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 16:47:50 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun May 03 11:03:10 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 09:09:11 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 11:03:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 04 21:35:30 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 21:35:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 24 06:30:45 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 06:30:45 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Feb 22 15:32:55 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 15:32:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 15:53:24 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 15:53:24 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=116217
