A Surgeon's World

Dr. Nolen writes about the world of the doctor in practice. He shares his thoughts on how doctors get where they are, what they do, and why, what they are like in the hours away from the office, how they get along with each other, their wives and nurses. He also reveals how patients look through a doctor's eyes and how doctors handle the burden of a dying patient. He gives advice on how to choose a doctor, how to reduce medical costs, on the merits of the big hospital versus the small and many of the other fascinating aspects of the medical profession.
