Description:
xiii, 241 p. : portraits ; 23 cm.
Summary:
A compendium of career-affirming
moments
from a diverse group of doctors across Canada. Doctors hold a pretty special place in our lives. They're often there when we're born, and they're usually there when we die. They're there for a lot of the scary or weird stuff that happens in between, too. In That's
Why
I
'm a
Doctor
, award-winning journalist Mark Bulgutch brings together forty-five stories from a diverse group of
physicians
, including pediatricians, interventional radiologists, general surgeons, psychiatrists, family doctors, gastroenterologists, ophthalmologists, gynecologists, neurologists and more. Each
doctor
's story describes the moment that left them thinking, 'That's
why
I
became a
doctor
.' This volume includes stories of innovation (developing a treatment for cholera); rare and fascinating medical cases (the separation of conjoined twins); the less dramatic but still quietly satisfying times when the
doctor
was able to have a lasting positive impact on the life of a patient or
their
family; and, of course, those unexpected
moments
when the patient taught the
doctor
an important life lesson that would inform
their
practice for years to come. These stories, big and small, are tied together by a sense of caring. It's impossible to read what these doctors have to say and not come away with a new understanding of what goes through the mind of the person on the other end of the stethoscope and how dedicated doctors must be to do what they do.
