Book Synopsis Secrets of a Country Doctor by : James W. Elliott
Download or read book Secrets of a Country Doctor written by James W. Elliott. This book was released on 2000. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humorous, anecdotal history of the author's medical practice from 1936 to 1988, it describes a simpler time, during which doctors practiced without many of the problems that face modern physicians: forms to complete for every procedure, overcrowded offices, second opinions, high insurance costs, etc. In fact, much of the book is about the unique doctor-patient relationships that existed before the age of health insurance. It was a different kind of time, when the family doctor often met his patient at the emergency room and remained the sole treating physician throughout the hospital stay.
