This book details the lessons every physician should have learned in medical school but often didn't, as well as classic insights and examples from current clinical literature, medical history, and anecdotes from the author's long and distinguished career in medicine. Medical Wisdom and Doctoring: the Art of 21st Century Practice presents lessons a physician may otherwise need to learn from experience or error, and is sure to become a must-have for medical students, residents and young practitioners.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is as close to an autobiography as Dr Taylor may get, full of personal advice and clinical stories couched in terms that seek to instruct and teach what he has learned in a lifetime of reading, practicing medicine, and writing. The writing … is concise and includes the ideas and research and anecdotes that have guided him. … The book gives the reader insight into the last half century of practice and shares lessons learned from a respected leader in academic medicine.” (John Frey, Family Medicine, Vol. 44 (4), April, 2012)
