A Country Doctor Writes: CONDITIONS: Diseases and Other Life Circumstances; AND A Country Doctor Writes: IN PRACTICE: Starting, Growing, and Staying in the Medical Profession

摘要

Originally from Sweden, Hans Duvefelt, MD, trained at Central Maine Medical Center 40 years ago and has practiced in rural Maine ever since. In 2008, he began writing a reflective blog to document his medical experiences, and that writing ultimately became the basis for these collections of brief vignettes. The topics range from his initial impressions of medical school to meaningful personal connections with patients, difficult diagnoses, exciting patient encounters, and even his own experiences as a patient.
