An Uplifting Gem

Dr. Boehm's essays are not just about the doctor-patient relationship. They are much richer than that.As a leading specialist in high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Boehm obviously shares life-and-death experiences with patients every day. Many of his essays address human relationships in the medical context. While the other essays present valuable insights on life in general, they too are connected with Dr. Boehm's medical background. These additional insights, and Dr. Boehm's interest in expressing them, are clearly driven by the emotional intensity of his medical practice. His constant encounters with mortality and the life crises of his patients and their families have inspired him as a heartfelt proponent of full, happy and healthy living. He carries this message with plainspoken eloquence.There can be nothing truly "new" in this or any other "perspective" book, because the messages are timeless. But we never tire of well-crafted reminders, and this is one.My wife and I both enjoyed the book. The essays are only a few pages long each, so this is the perfect book to keep around the house in those places where you periodically have a few minutes of quiet reflection. Each essay will leave you thinking.

Doctors Cry, Too

"I believe that Doctors Cry, Too makes an important contribution toward guiding physicians, as well as others in the helping professions, to recognize their personal feelings of compassion without interfering with their professional responsibilities. I read this book with great interest and found it to be thought-provoking." - Dr. Ruth Westheimer, author and TV personality

This should be required reading for doctors

The gorwing number of doctors who are putting more emphasis on caring about their patients and sharing their successes and failures but alwasys caring for them as people get a shot in the arm from sharing Frank Boehm's experiences and insights. I'm one of them and happy to read these vignetttes.
