Old Wisdom For Young Doctors: Philosophy and Fulfillment in Physicians' Lives - Paperback

by George E. Lewinnek (Author)

As the knowledge of science needed to enter medical school has exploded, the old wisdom of Hippocrates, Aristotle, other great thinkers, and the world's great religions has been neglected. "Old Wisdom For Young Doctors" provides a quick introduction to these topics. The book also considers money matters, world cultures, and psychological insights that will be useful to every young doctor. It concludes with approaches to common clinical problems and career advice based on ethics and humanism. Retired orthopedic surgeon George Lewinnek, M.D., believes these values will decrease burnout and increase young doctors' satisfaction in their future careers.
