Evergreen Book for Physicians

I advise this book to all students of both medicine and languages. I read it to analyse patient-doctor relationship, from the point of view of discouse analysis, and it was useful. Still, as a language student, I suggest that all physicians or medical students read it so that they understand what it means to dedicate time to their patients, even if they work in huge hospitals, and to build a mutually trusted doc-patient relationship. Look forward to reading other readers' opinion!
