This is a wonderfully wise and sensitive disquisition on the interactions of physicians and patients, how these interactions should ideally go, where they can go wrong, and what both patients (and their families) and physicians can do to help insure that they go right. Groopman's insights into these complex relationships are precise and delicate, and his prose is equally precise yet never cold or dry.
