520 1 $a"In light of the altered climate in health care, this thoughtful book deals with the way that today's doctors and patients view themselves and one another. Allen Weisse has observed the changing medical scene during half a century of treating patients and training future physicians, and he writes frankly here about how doctors and patients have come to deal with illness in the twenty-first century." "Weisse first recalls his own brush with death as a young man diagnosed with testicular cancer - a time when one thinks of God and Death and little else. He then shares true stories of how different people have dealt with cancer, heart disease, stroke, infectious disease, AIDS, and other dire diagnoses - narratives enhanced by professional savvy and enriched by the kind of empathy that the survivor of such a calamity can provide." "Drawing from a storehouse of experiences shared by colleagues, patients, and friends, Weisse writes with passion, conviction, and clarity to encourage a renewal of the openness and trust that seem to be lacking in today's doctor-patient relationships. These are accounts both uplifting and disturbing - some sad, others tinged with humor - intended to make doctors and patients alike come to a fuller realization that we were all together in this delicate but crucial business of staying alive."--BOOK JACKET.
