Requirements: .ePUB reader, 357KB
Overview: Practice Makes Perfect: How One Doctor Discovered the Meaning of Lives helps us to understand the potential depth, sanctity, and humor within the doctor-patient relationship from both perspectives, as Dr. David Roberts makes rounds and cares for patients behind the closed examination room door.
Dr. Roberts has just completed his medical training and starts out in the private practice of Internal Medicine in a Midwestern college town. He is twenty-nine years old, but looks sixteen, inspiring most patients to comment, “You look too young to be a doctor!” On his first week of hospital rounds, an angry middle-aged man dies in such a dramatic, direct manner that our doctor, and the young nurse working with him, believe he has killed this patient.
From this point onward, we listen and learn with Dr. Roberts and Dr. Mark Edwards, his senior partner, as they together navigate their first five years of private practice as primary care physicians. Written in the currently popular narrative non-fiction style, throughout Practice Makes Perfect the reader follows Dr. Roberts as he cares for twenty different and unique patients. As he encounters each new human being seeking help, we are invited inside the good physician’s head to see and better understand the complexity of both successful and strained patient-doctor relationships. The reader sees him quickly formulate his initial impressions, analyze the data, argue with himself (and sometimes others, including his patients), and struggle with his own doubts and certainties in order to help his patients to heal.
Through a series of fascinating, humorous, and poignant patient stories, this “professional coming of age” book chronicles Dr. Robert’s journey of finding the human dignity in each patient and learning something about himself, to a growing confidence in his abilities as a physician. Using a lively and entertaining narrative nonfiction style, the author takes us inside his own mind to help us understand what doctors think, say and do, (and what they don’t say or do), each time we walk into the examination room as patients seeking help for our maladies.
We see Doctor Roberts honestly reflect upon his own failures, successes, doubts and certainties, to learn the truth that his patients have to teach him about life. In discovering each person’s innate dignity, he finds his own true calling as a physician and healer.
