O knihe
Training of medical students physically, mentally, and emotionally is an arduous
process. The transformation of a lay person entering medical school to that of a
physician is a remarkable process. Almost every medical student embarks on this
journey with compassion to relieve the suffering of his fellow human beings.
There is danger of being emotionally paralyzed by witnessing the misery of the sick,
the horror of death, social injustice of lack of medical coverage, and the ingratitude of
litigious patients. Medical school curriculum is geared to teach medical skills. Students
on their own have to deal with the emotional aspects of medicine. To guard against an
emotional paralysis, medical students, as a protective measure, may suppress their
compassionate feelings towards their patients and may try to remain aloof when dealing
with patients.
In modern day medical practice the technology provides a convenient cover from facing
emotional issues. Doctors spend more time reviewing X rays, laboratory results than
spending time talking to patients. The time spent in direct patient care is becoming less
and less. Patients are dealt as cases and not as fellow human beings in need of care and
compassion. Such an approach is neither necessary nor desirable.
The author, an experienced surgeon of many years, in the book On The Path of
Becoming a Physician deals with these issues.
