>> I think this book should be ready by every resident doctor ... and patient :)
LOL. That medical practice involves so much uncertainty has caused consternation here before. I try to tell people that medicine is a combination of art and science but that most people get their understanding of those around the wrong way- but I'm not sure everybody gets that either.
Would be interested to hear what you think of "House of God." Behind the cynicism there are definite truths, such as the concept of Masterly Inactivity. Definitely, 100% valid but almost impossible in today's litigious world.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
