Gynecologist Reflections F a C O G Siegel

This is a physician's true story encompassing a myriad of authentic patient histories. Readers will find themselves intimately connected to the patient, the doctor and the too often dramatic medical issues which they are bound to resolve together. Each episode vividly depicts an individual woman's unique medical and emotional challenge which intrudes upon her health and life. Medical problems are not only harrowing enough to tear individuals and families apart but can also act to strengthen individual resolve and bind family members closer together. Many episodes inspire hope, end happily and provide an opportunity for a sensitively appropriate sense of humor. The patient is the primary focal point. The doctor's moral, ethical, legal, physical and psychological challenges are conflated with those of the holistically treated patient. The bond that grows between the doctor and patient is the writer's spiritual sustenance for the practice of medicine and the professional fulfillment of a childhood dream.
