N2  - Weisse tackles medical ethics, offers advice to medical and premedical students and their families, delves into unusual episodes of medical history, confronts considerations of aging and self-image, and discusses the vagaries of rewards and recognition available from medical research. He also examines honesty in medical thinking, investigates methods of dealing with bureaucracies, and considers ways of learning to live with oneself. Finally, he evaluates the changing nature of medicine and medical research and looks into the role of minorities and women in medicine. -- Provided by publisher
