  <description><![CDATA[By the time most of us meet our doctors, they’ve been in practice for a number of years. Often they seem  aloof, uncaring, and hurried. Of course, they’re not all like that, and most didn’t start out that way.<br/><br/>  Here are voices of third-year students just as they begin to  take on clinical responsibilities. Their words focus on the odd transition students face when they must deal with real people in real time and in real crises and when they must learn to put aside their emotions to make quick, accurate, and sensitive decisions. Their decisions aren’t always right, and the consequences can be life-altering—for all involved. Moving, disturbing, and candid, their true stories show us a side of the profession that few ever see, or could even imagine. They show, often painfully, how medical students grow up, right at the bedside.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[My biggest problem with this book is the title.  The stories inside are not simply about the &quot;soul&quot; of a doctor, and does it even matter that these are Harvard medical students?

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting book with essays from med students about their clinical rotations. They write about their concerns, personal fears, interactions with patients and other medical professionals, etc. Is there a similar book from nurses? I believe all new MDs and nurses go through similar experiences.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a very quick read. I may be biased, since I'm in medicine, but I found the commentaries of the student doctors very insightful. It reminded me of the reasons I chose to become a doctor. I would recommend this to doctors and pts alike.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[By the time most of us meet our doctors, they’ve been in practice for a number of years. Often they seem  aloof, uncaring, and hurried. Of course, they’re not all like that, and most didn’t start out that way.<br/><br/>  Here are voices of third-year students just as they begin to  take on clinical responsibilities. Their words focus on the odd transition students face when they must deal with real people in real time and in real crises and when they must learn to put aside their emotions to make quick, accurate, and sensitive decisions. Their decisions aren’t always right, and the consequences can be life-altering—for all involved. Moving, disturbing, and candid, their true stories show us a side of the profession that few ever see, or could even imagine. They show, often painfully, how medical students grow up, right at the bedside.]]>

    <![CDATA[By the time most of us meet our doctors, they’ve been in practice for a number of years. Often they seem  aloof, uncaring, and hurried. Of course, they’re not all like that, and most didn’t start out that way.<br/><br/>  Here are voices of third-year students just as they begin to  take on clinical responsibilities. Their words focus on the odd transition students face when they must deal with real people in real time and in real crises and when they must learn to put aside their emotions to make quick, accurate, and sensitive decisions. Their decisions aren’t always right, and the consequences can be life-altering—for all involved. Moving, disturbing, and candid, their true stories show us a side of the profession that few ever see, or could even imagine. They show, often painfully, how medical students grow up, right at the bedside.]]>
