Aging physicians confront their own lapses in judgment. Devotion to a career where they feel all powerful has sometimes meant the collapse of their marriages and estrangement from their children. A physician who visits a patient on death row must try to explain to his son what it means to be a healer. This book is for doctors, nurses, and health care professionals, but also for readers concerned with life, death, and healing."--Publisher's description.
