Product Description
Like many an exclusive club, the medical profession subjects its prospective members to rigorous indoctrination: medical students are overloaded with work, deprived of sleep and normal human contact, drilled and tested and scheduled down to the last minute. Difficult as the regimen may be, for those who don’t fit the traditional mold–white, male, middle-to-upper class, and heterosexual–medical school can be that much more harrowing. This riveting book tells the tales of a new generation of medical students–students whose varied backgrounds are far from traditional. Their stories will forever alter the way we see tomorrow’s doctors.
In these pages, a black teenage mother overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds, an observant Muslim dons the hijab during training, an alcoholic hides her addiction. We hear the stories of an Asian refugee, a Mexican immigrant, a closeted Christian, an oversized woman–these once unlikely students are among those who describe their medical school experiences with uncommon candor, giving a close-up look at the inflexible curriculum, the pervasive competitive culture, and the daunting obstacles that come with being “different” in medical school. Their tales of courage are by turns poignant, amusing, eye-opening–and altogether unforgettable.

These days, when you only get to see your physician for 10 minutes after waiting several weeks for an appointment, you’re often forced to get your information somewhere else. Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide will do what your doctor can’t: answer your questions for hours on end. This richly packed compendium offers more than a thousand pages of health information compiled from the expertise of 7,000 physicians and researchers. Whether you’re figuring out what your symptoms might mean, researching a disease, looking up a medication, learning about a body part or function, or formulating questions to ask your doctor, you can find the medical knowledge here–and in simple, layperson’s language.
You’ll undoubtedly make the most use of the diagnosis section, in flow-chart form. You identify a symptom, then answer a series of “yes” or “no” questions–where the pain is located, when it occurs, what makes it worse, and other related symptoms, for example. Each answer leads you to another question and/or to an action you should take, with page numbers where you can find more information about the condition you may have. Very clear and well organized! The Color Guide to Visual Diagnosis lets you match your symptom with close-up color photos of various skin infections, cancerous growths, fungal infections, insect infestations, and other conditions. The book also has chapters on lifestyle changes that will enhance health, such as nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, and safe sex. Added bonuses are sections on eldercare, death and dying, drug interactions, and emergency care. This book is a treasure and a bargain! –Joan Price
All doctors learn the same thing in Medical School, so what happens after that? Is your specialty just by experiance or do you go another school.Im trying to find out more infor about life after medical school. Suggestions for taking the Mcat will also be appreciated.
I am planning on attending NYU or U of I. Can I transfer to Harvard Medical school, after I finish my four years of college. If so what records do the Harvard administrators check, do they only check your college records or do they check for more?
Any advice is great.
