"Dr. Schanfield's book celebrates a doctor in tune with his patients. He lovingly records their comments—wise, pithy, humorous, sometimes irreverent—which make this book precious. Dr. Schanfield is a wise physician, humble and grateful for a long and rewarding life in medicine. He is also gravely concerned. In his book, he sounds the alarm. With threats all around we must preserve the essence of doctoring—the physician-patient relationship—increasingly under siege."
