Doctor Confidential: Secrets Behind the Veil tells the autobiographical story of Dr. Rick Sheff’s training as a family physician in medical school and residency. Yet this book is so much more than a memoir of medical training. Written more than 25 years after the events it describes with the wisdom and insight of a nationally recognized leader of American medicine, each story is carefully crafted to teach profound lessons about the journey of doctor and patient, but also lessons in living well. In the end, readers feel that they themselves have been healed through the gift of this extraordinary literary work.
