Murmurs

Call me biased. I practice medicine less than an hour from Dr. Miksanek and attended medical school with him. This is the most underappreciated book I've read. Tony's witty style and incredible insight into the nuances of medicine are presented from a very unusual perpective--the prince of medical diagnostic instruments. The stethoscope nearly always hangs around the doctor's neck and thus exposed to many aspects of medical care otherwise missed by nearby (human) observers. The stethoscope is not bound by the limits of confidentiality that other observers would be. The stethoscope being mere steel and plastic is an unbiased reliable observer free any "spinning" of the truth. Dr. Miksanek has written THE BOOK for those who want to experience the trials and travails of being a doctor and want to see who the REAL HEROES of today's world are (and, no, it's not the doctors). I would especially recommend this book for those aspiring to the medical field. Should be a best seller *****...
