Customer Reviews

Compulsively readable

This is a marvelous work. All physicians should read it, and lots of patients should, too. The anecdotes will stay with you long after you put it down, and if you're not a physician, you'll expect more of your doctors after you read Dr. Hollenbeck's lovely little book. It's full of medical wisdom, but practical wisdom, too, in the form of Dr. Hollenbeck's mother's Irish sayings. Just a complete pleasure to read! I enjoyed every page.

Entertaining and Sharp

Sacred Trust does an excellent job of describing Dr. Hollenbeck's experiences and lessons, and more importantly their importance in medicine. It blends humor and serious topics fluidly. Afterwards I had a better understanding of what to expect from the medical profession, and it gave me the confidence to demand it. I wish all my doctors (past, present, and future) would read this. I intend on purhasing this book for all my friends in med school.

Great book!!!

This was a great book! Once I got started on it I could not put it down! I know the Dr. is writing a new book, can hardley wait til it comes out!
