Gordon Noel grew up in Montana and studied English literature at Harvard. When he started medical school at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City in the 1960's, he found himself less well prepared than many of his classmates who had studied science in greater depth and knew the ropes of how to succeed in medical school. With humor and sometimes painful honesty, Noel tells the stories of his successes and failures in highly competitive and inspiring training programs, as an Army doctor during the American war in Vietnam, and during his busy first years as a teacher and physician in an East Coast academic medical center. He writes about his gradual realization that he was missing out on his family's lives as his children grew up and lays out his struggle to decide whether to walk away from a revered institution and colleagues and patients that he deeply cared about. The memoir reveals the difficulties of finding a balance between being a good doctor and and a good father and husband and friend.

Dr. Marvin Stone describes his fascinating journey through the last half-century in medicine: becoming a physician, acquiring intense training in patient care and research, and teaching at all levels. Along the way, he introduces us to some exceptional leaders in the field through noteworthy first-hand accounts. This medical memoir focuses on how clinical perspective and judgment develop as one travels through an exciting career. It will be of interest to students, young doctors, experienced physicians, and lay persons with interest in and concern about medical science and health care. "Marvin Stone is a classical triple-threat medical academic: accomplished in biomedical research, expert in his clinical field, and revered teacher. For those interested in how such a career trajectory happens, he has written a book of immense value. Dr. Stone is a scholar but not a pedant. His memoir is warm, articulate, accessible, and informative. His book describes a relatively seamless merger of the elements of his career, extending from biochemical and genetic mechanisms of disease to expert and compassionate clinical care. Beyond that, it addresses concern for ethical issues in patient care and research and discusses examples of greats in the history of medicine, especially William Osler--in effect, past mentors who, though now silent, still speak to their clinical descendants. The book will be especially valuable to the young in medicine, from students through trainees to junior faculty. It is a clear, coherent description of the kinds of settings, people, and opportunities that underpin a successful and satisfying career in medicine. It will more than repay the hours spent in its company." --Jeremiah A. Barondess, MD, William T. Foley Distinguished Professor in Clinical Medicine, Weill-Cornell Medical College "Heavily influenced by the works of William Osler, Stone approached his roles as cancer researcher, administrator, educator, and clinician with unwavering idealism and commitment to professionalism and humanism. This remarkable memoir is a gift to the legions of patients and medical professionals whose lives were enhanced by his guidance and support--and to anyone interested in where medicine has been in the past 60 years and where it's going." --Wendy S. Harpham, MD, FACP, author of Healing Hope: Through and Beyond Cancer "A question--'What am I doing here?' --begins Marvin Stone's richly insightful memoir. The pages that follow provide an answer to how he would spend his life: learning, healing, teaching, cheering for Ohio State football (nobody's perfect), treating others with compassion--and above all serving as a modern manifestation of Sir William Osler. The writing, clear and understated, reflects the man: Think of this book as the opportunity for an extended conversation with a gently inspirational physician/humanist." --Dennis M. Kratz, PhD, Ignacy and Celina Rockover Professor of Humanities and Dean, School of Arts and Humanities, The University of Texas at Dallas "Marvin Stone has written a splendid memoir. It describes the life of a physician devoted to his profession, his patients, his quest for new knowledge, his students, his principled ideals, and his supportive family. Grounded by superior training, outstanding role models, mentors, and inspirational historical and lifelong colleagues, he describes the excitement of a full medical life. His scholarship, humility, and wonderful capacity for friendship with mentors, patients, and colleagues provide an uplifting read for both those in and out of medicine." --William C. Roberts, MD, Editor in Chief, American Journal of Cardiology and Baylor Proceedings

In Singular Intimacies, which the New England Journal of Medicine said captured the'essence of becoming and being a doctor,' Danielle Ofri led us into the hectic, constantly challenging world of big-city medicine. In Incidental Findings, she's finished her training and is learning through practice to become a more rounded healer. The book opens with a dramatic tale of the tables being turned on Dr. Ofri: She's had to shed the precious white coat and credentials she worked so hard to earn and enter her own hospital as a patient. She experiences the real'slight prick and pressure' of a long needle as well as the very real sense of invasion and panic that routinely visits her patients. These fifteen intertwined tales include 'Living Will,' where Dr. Ofri treats a man who has lost the will to live, and she too comes dangerously close to concluding that he has nothing to live for;'Common Ground,' in which a patient's difficult decision to have an abortion highlights the vulnerabilities of doctor and patient alike;'Acne,' where she is confronted by a patient whose physical and emotional abuse she can't possibly heal, so she must settle on treating the one thing she can, the least of her patient's problems; and finally a stunning concluding chapter,'Tools of the Trade,' where Dr. Ofri's touch is the last in a woman's long life.

Becoming a doctor requires years of formal education, but one learns the practice of medicine only through direct encounters with the fragile others called ""patients."" Pediatrician Brian Volck recounts his own education in the mysteries of suffering bodies, powerful words, and natural beauty. It's a curriculum where the best teachers are children and their mothers, the classrooms are Central American villages and desert landscapes, and the essential texts are stories, poems, and paintings. Through practices of focused attention, he grows from detached observer of his patients' lives into an uneasy witness and grateful companion. From the inner city to the Navajo Nation and from the Grand Canyon to the mountains of Honduras, Volck learns to listen to children unable to talk, to assist in healing when cure is impossible, and to love those whose life and experiences are radically different from his own. This is not a how-to book or a brief for reforming medical education. Attending Others is a highly personal account of what the author learned about medicine after he completed his formal education. The short answer, it turns out, is pretty much everything. ""Your medical education and practice have taught you the art of learning stories. By schooling better known to you than me, you have acquired the art of telling the stories you have learned. As a story-teller you are an excellent artist. I know this because you are able to reveal, in no more words than necessary, not only how you do your work, but more importantly, why."" --Wendell Berry, from a letter to the author ""Brian Volck's stories are not just about medical life, though medicine is his profession, his vocation, and a frame and focus of the stories that make up this rich memoir. Attending Others refers to much more than medical care in these stories about learning to live among and love a Navajo community in New Mexico, rural folk in Honduras, and urbanites in Baltimore and Cincinnati. The attention Volck pays is deeply relational, informed by complex, resilient family life and a mindful, openhearted spirituality that draws him to the desert in whose silence he weaves words into life-giving stories about those who have been his teachers as he attended them. He invites his readers into a vision of healing and wholeness that begins and ends in resilient humor and deep humility."" --Marilyn McEntyre, Adjunct Professor of Medical Humanities, UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program; Author of Patient Poets: Illness from Inside Out and Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies ""We have lately seen a number of excellent writers who are doctors. Perhaps because a doctor must find words to give us when we are most broken and in need of encouragement, the best have learned the healing art of words. Dr. Brian Volck joins their company with this glorious memoir."" --Richard Rodriguez, Author of Brown: The Last Discovery of America and Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography ""Attending Others is a tour de force, a page-turner that poses complex and fascinating questions. It reads like an astonishing account from a strange country: the inner life of an attending physician as he chooses medicine, faces the first cadaver, and goes on to train and practice. With humility and humor, Volck commands both the idioms of medicine and the lyricism of poets. He confesses to flashes of fear but also to moving moments when the icy distance that lies between doctors and patients has melted. The practice of medicine often restores people to health, as Volck's memoir reveals, but medicine can also fail. Even then, as Volck points out, a doctor has something significant to offer: 'We gave them all we could, ' he writes, 'our time, our presence, our attention.'"" --Jeanne Murray Walker, Author of The Geography of Memory: A Pilgrimage Through Alzheimer's ""Part memoir, part meditation, and all heartbreakingly and beautifully evocative, Attending Others is a very rare book indeed.

Inspired by a news article about a missionary who spent his life serving on medical missions in Thailand, author Dr. King F. Yee changed his major from science to medicine. This memoir follows Yee's long and vigorous educational process of medical school, internship, and residency. It shares how, following training, Yee realized obtaining credentials and hanging a shingle do not make a medical practice an instant success. In For Love of Compassion, he depicts the realities of private practice and the struggles he faced. He also shares the details of realizing his long-held dream of working on medical missions to the Philippines, with each place differing in need and challenges. Yee's story exemplifies the lives of all who've pursued the art of medicine. Compassion is the heart of medicine-compassion to care, compassion to heal, and compassion to freely give one's time and energy.
