A Window Into The Intimacies Of Medicine
As a physician, I have the honor to be involved with patients in such an intimate way – trusted with their secrets, their fears, their lives. My stories are about how my patients have changed me, how their stories live on and how this fundamental relationship in medicine must be saved and cherished.
