What I Didn't Learn in Medical School

Produktbeschreibung

Medical Misadventures is a glimpse behind the curtain, exposing the torments of a doctor when things don't go as expected. The consequences are often humorous, sometimes embarassing, and occasionally downright humiliating. I have experienced them all!

But sometimes fortune smiles, the stars align and our prayers are answered. Those are the miraculous events that medical science cannot explain. They remind us that the art of medicine is still important and that hope is never extinguished.

Today I said good-bye to my genie. "We have been inseparable for over fifty years," I said, "but the time has come to part ways. You have bedevilled my life for too long. Granted, at times you have exposed my flaws and I have benefitted. And it is true that you have also shown me wonders that I thought impossible. But you have embarrassed and humiliated me too often. I have retired from medicine and I no longer need you. You must leave me and torment someone else."

"Not so!" he retorted, "my mission is not over; you will never be rid of me; I will plague you in your dreams and in your pensive moments. I have much yet to teach you and you have no choice but to listen."

So my genie lives on, perched on my shoulder, waiting for my unguarded moments. He invades my dreams, deflates my pride, reminds me of events I would prefer to forget.

Autorenporträt

Arnold Tweed grew up on a farm in southern Manitoba, went to High School in Killarney, and studied science at Brandon College. His early ambition was to return to the farm, but he got side-tracked and graduated with an MD from the University of Manitoba in 1964. Since then his medical career has included general practice, emergency medicine, intensive care and anesthesiology as well as attempts at medical research, teaching and medical administration. Never having abandoned his early love of the carefree country life, he has traveled widely and worked in many countries: Canada, Denmark, Singapore, New Zealand, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Nepal. He claims that a search for adventure was the motivating force, and he has not been disappointed. This set of stories highlights some of the unusual patients and medical surprises he has encountered.
