Summary

The 'birth' of a doctor through the grueling years of residency, excerpted in SELF magazine Wearing the long white coat of an M.D. and being called 'Doctor' for the first time are heady experiences for a newly-minted doctor checking in for her first day of residency. Dr. Transue chronicles this intense three-year stage of medical train-ing-her residency in Internal Medicine at a Seattle hospital-as she gains confidence in putting her academic knowledge to work.

Excerpts

"The chemistry that happens between doctors and patients, the natural sympathy that is so strong in some interactions and so elusive in others, I sensed intuitively when I first started clinical work, but began to try to analyze only later. I have come to think that doctors and patients, like lovers or friends, can have a deep instinct to connect with each other in some instances and not in others. You can work around the connection, care for someone without it, learn to modulate it; the bond can appear suddenly after a long time of being absent. but the basic chemistry is real."
