Product Description

Product Description
This oft-quoted all-time favourite of the medical community will gladden - and strengthen - the hearts of patients, doctors, and anyone entering medical study, internship, or practice. With unassailable logic and rapier wit, the sage Dr. Oscar London muses on the challenges and joys of doctoring, and imparts timeless truths, reality checks, and poignant insights gleaned from 30 years of general practice - while never taking himself (or the profession) too seriously.

About the Author
Oscar London, MD, WBD, is the pseudonym of an internist who practiced in Berkeley, C California. His humorous essays appeared regularly in the San Francisco Chronicle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the mess room, 10 Dec 2008
By Adam Haswell (Newcastle) - See all my reviews
I bought this at the start of a new rotation and left it in the mess room. Sections are short enough to be read in between jobs over a coffee and everybody who got through it loved it. Reminds anyone in training not to take the little things too seriously.
