Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Doc Who Jots Part of an article in 1996, by George S. Poehlman M.D., noted: "Always ask your patients about something that is totally nonmedical before closing out the patient encounter. You will ensure that your life’s work is made up of more than simply treating disease. You will become an amateur anthropologist on whom people’s stories are bestowed. This is what makes men and women of medicine wise." Doing just that led to a renewed appreciation, by this family physician, for his medical career. It did not add a significant amount of time to an encounter, and he started to briefly record, in a journal, some of the interactions that he felt were worth remembering and documenting. There are encounters included from the office, as well as from the homes of patients. The first three books, derived from the journal, were entitled “Patients Say the Darndest Things.” (BookLocker.com: book #1: 2003, book #2: 2006, book #3: 2009.) He changed the title for this collection. All names (or initials) of the patients have been changed. He acknowledges that many interactions with patients do not have as pleasant an outcome as is depicted in most of the encounters included in this collection. However, some will illustrate the ability to tease out some unique, uplifting, or funny aspects that arise during many patient encounters, even during a hectic day. As a result, many days of patient care may be much better than they might have been otherwise. A few of the entries are not from patient encounters. ________________________________________________ He also included some personal reflections at the end, including a couple sections on how he navigated through grieving and bereavement after the unexpected death of his first wife. He greatly benefited reading how others dealt with their own loss. He hopes someone might benefit from reading his journey.

Download or read book Let Me Not Be Mad written by A. K. Benjamin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Dr. A. K. Benjamin's years working as a clinical neuropsychologist at a London hospital, this multilayered narrative interweaves Benjamin's own sometimes shocking personal experiences with those of his mentally disordered patients. What do doctors actually think about when you list your problems in the consulting room? Are they really listening to you? Is the connection all in your head? Every day for ten years--even while his hospital became the set for a reality television series--clinical neuropsychologist A. K. Benjamin confronted these questions, and this book is his attempt to tell the truth about what happens in these rooms in hospitals the world over. What begins as a series of exquisitely observed case studies examining personalities on the brink of collapse soon morphs into a unique work of nonfiction as Benjamin's own psyche begins to twist the story in surprising ways. Blazingly original, Let Me Not Be Mad undermines the authority we so willingly hand over to clinical psychologists as it bears witness to the self-obsession of Western society, and ultimately offers a glimpse of what it might mean to be sane and truly empathetic. Fractured, sad, playful, brilliant, and confrontational, this is a confession by a professional that delves into the heart of the patient-doctor relationship and ultimately finds love. This twisting psychological journey will be read and reread.
