Terrible and misleading title

Most of the stories have a psychiatric slant, and are written honestly, without flip, hip, and cool comments currently in vogue. More about the experience of getting to know medicine rather than about David Hellerstein and his "feelings" about it, how tired he is, how overwhelmed, etc. Good enough to read 2 or 3 times.
