Synopsis
Jerome Groopman, a regular essayist for The New Yorker, examines the oft-neglected subject of the underlying psychology that drives doctors to make decisions--and to make mistakes! In a society where doctors are revered as nearly godlike and patients regularly receive their diagnosis with total faith, this account, which includes the honest appraisals of numerous physicians (including himself), is certainly eye-opening.

Industry Reviews
"Many of the physicians that Dr. Groopman writes about are visionaries and heroes; their...passionate honesty gives the book an immediacy and an eloquence that will resonate with anyone interested in medicine, science or the cruel beauties of those human endeavors which engage mortal stakes." (starred review)
(01/29/2007)

"This is medicine at its best, 'a mix of science and soul.'"
(03/23/2007)

"[A] direct and honest voice...drives the narratives of this remarkable book. Here is [Dr. Jerome] Groopman at the peak of his form as a physician and a writer."
