How to Be a Good Doctor in Under an Hour

Based on 50 years of experience in the medical field, Dr. Berberich has written a plea to remember what often is called the Art of Medicine. This emphasizes the inter-relational aspects of medical care, the interactions between people in the health care field. The Art of Medicine, he argues, has been undermined by burgeoning technology, expanding complex business models, and an avalanche of tasks and requirements. Resulting burnout has short circuited the time and effort needed for compassionate rapport and sensitive communication. Each of the ten sections in the book highlights a 'good doctoring' ingredient. Written in a short format, each is designed to be read separately or as a continuum. It is the author's goal to redirect attention to the less data-driven aspects of medical care, and to do so across all specialties and personnel.
