Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The first time you have to deliver bad news to a parent. The tenth screaming baby you've seen today.  The thousandth time you've stayed just a bit later than your shift, helping one more sick child.  Every one of these kids has a story, and so does each doctor who treats them.Unusual diagnoses. Heartbreaking losses. Triumphant healing. From med student to intern to practicing specialist, The Real Life of a Pediatrician traces the careers of these family practitioners. When children are the patients, so much can be at stake, and emotions often run high. How do you tell a mother that her child has a terminal illness? What do you do when your patient is too young to tell you what's wrong with him? This anthology features first-person narratives from the students and doctors who have devoted their careers to this path, and offers an unblinking look at daily life in the field.Other books in the Kaplan Voices: Doctors series will focus on internal medicine, psychiatry, anesthesiology, oncology, geriatrics, and surgery, the most prominent specialties today.

This is a wonderful collection of anecdotes by paeditricians. Some recollect their student days, some look back on a long career, some practice in different countries or grapple with cultural differences. Some tales are heartbreaking, others are heartwarming. It makes you thankful if you have a healthy child and hopeful if you unfortunately do not. A great read for would be paediatricians, parents/caregivers and anyone interested in medicine.

This book lived up to my expectations because it was what I wanted!These real-life stories are touching and are inspiring for future medical studentswho want to actually know the reality behind pediatrics. I really enjoyed reading this!

Honestly I finished this book so incredibly fast and I was not expecting to do so. Definitely recommend.. It'll make you laugh, cry, and extremely interested in the life of a Pediatrician!

Very inspirational book, I loved every story in it. After reading this, I'm definitely excited to become a Pediatrician. I'm looking forward to this long path, it's gonna be worth it.
