Hey, Doc! is the true story of my training as a family physician in
medical school and residency more than 20 years ago.
"I knew then, as now, there is something terribly lacking in how we take care of patients and train physicians. Even before completing training I felt compelled to write this book, to tell the stories that now unfold in the pages to come for doctors in training, for all who work in healthcare, and for everyone who ever has or will entrust their vulnerability to a doctor."
Over two decades in medicine has taught me that the most potent tool for healing we as physicians have is our heart. But each of us must learn to listen to our own heart before we can touch and heal the hearts of our patients.
Welcome to Listen to Your Heart Medicine, a community of people who seek to transform healthcare. Whether you are a physician, a fellow healthcare professional, a patient or family member of a patient, please join me in helping practicing physicians, those in training, and all healthcare providers open their hearts so we can provide the healing our patients desire and deserve.
