Medicina
A baby is born, after a long nerve-wracking labour. A family struggles to make the right end-of-life decision for an elderly relative. Addicts and eccentrics find themselves in hospital emergency rooms. And doctors are there: treating patients with illness and injuries, day in and day out. In 123 Very Short Stories from a Long Life in Medicine, Dr. Stan Lubin recounts his 50 year career as a physician working in Canada, the UK, and US, along with a stint in the Truk Islands, Micronesia.
This memoir, composed of personal anecdotes, is an engaging and emotional journey, not just for those in the medical profession but all readers who wish to get a glimpse inside the lives of people seeking care in both small towns and cities. Written with a depth of medical detail yet still accessible to casual readers, Dr. Lubin's thought-provoking stories will make readers consider their own beliefs, vulnerabilities, joys and, indeed, mortality.
123 Very Short Stories from a Long Life in Medicine also serves as an uplifting reminder of the expertise, compassion, and unflagging work of doctors and other healthcare professionals who support patients and their families through all stages of life.
