## Description

Medical Humanities: An Introduction: 9781107614178: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Want to be a well-rounded doctor or medical professional? Expand your horizons! - This is the text for a class I am taking. Have to give it five stars. Thought-provoking in a way that not many texts about the science of medicine are. A great overview of the relatively recent field of Medical Humanities, and the "human" side of health care. I think this book should be a part of the curriculum at every good medical or nursing school.
Review: Actually helped me - The class I needed this book for kinda scared me but once I was able to read the textbook it really laid everything out for me. Would really recommend getting! Well written!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your book is both enlightening and easy to relate to
*by R***T on December 3, 2014*

WOW! Eye-opening revelations combined with matter of fact, hands-on tools. The text is both enlightening and comprehensive. The individual case studies struck a chord with me the most (with some striking too closely to home), but the powerful provider/patient interactions combine traditional teaching methods along with personal guidance for both real and abstract application. More importantly, however, the steps I aim to follow as I navigate the deterioration of my beloved 90 year old mother, upon whom I rely on for daily advise and fortitude, and who has put my mind at ease as I begin to grieve her impending and welcomed (only from her end) death, while she continues to rejoice her well-lived and "blessed" life. She is yearning to "go gracefully", as her cognizance is in tact but her aching body is rapidly deteriorating. I am in awe but grief-stricken by her motivation (and I am inclined to fight it), while I am also strangely calmed by Dr. Carson's intuitiveness, thoughtfulness, and subtlety for each of our journeys. Thank you, Ron, for a life of thought, change, and philanthropy, your inspirational words and your constant example of a life and career worth immeasurable praise. You are a cherished role model with matter of fact, hands-on tools. You leave the student/reader with valuable tools, while allowing for individual wisdom and personal choice. The text is both enlightening and comprehensive. You are a cherished role model who continues to teach, push boundaries, astound us with your intellect, but, more importantly, enable us walk through a life filled with challenges, triumphs, and tragedy, whether it involves the loss of a child or parent, or encompasses the societal need for knowledge and empathy. Your book is both enlightening and easy to relate to... just like you. KUDOS!
