Book Reviews of Bedside Manners: One Doctor's Reflections on the Oddly Intimate Encounters Between Patient and Healer

Book Review: Some good stories, others not so good, nothing outstanding
Summary: 3 Stars

I like medicine and reading stories about it, so I thought this would be a good book. The author tends to try to be "poetical" in a way I didn't find appealing. Some stories are worth reading though. The good thing is that the bad ones end quickly, since they are all short stories.
