A world-renowned clinician, teacher, and researcher in cognitive and behavioral neurology, Dr. Ken Heilman has found that stories of his own initiation into the world of doctoring are one of the best ways to engage students and trainees about the common professional, medical, and ethical challenges they will face in daily practice. The twenty-five stories gathered here span the author's first year of clinical training at Bellevue Hospital during the 1960s following his graduation from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. That year- known in the past as internship or first-year residency and now called post graduate year one- is recognized as one of the most intellectually, emotionally, and physically demanding in a physician's life. For the author, it was to hold the most valuable lessons on caring for patients and to exert the greatest lasting influence on how he practices medicine. Each story in this book conveys a core lesson about the practice of medicine and also tells a wonderful tale- about how the author contracted tuberculosis because of a colleague's carelessness, a tough nurse who was a great teacher, a cardiologist who missed a diagnosis because of his arrogance, an acid-dropping ascetic who turned tricks on the side, a fellow trainee caught in a lie, and, as timeless a story as there ever was, the utter impossibility of finding a parking spot in New York City, among others.

Postgraduate Year One: Lessons in Caring
Using medical histories recorded by an eighteenth century German doctor, Duden attempts to construct an image of the body held by women and their doctor. Because Storch recorded what his female patients we can practically hear their complaints. These women viewed their bodies very differently than we view our bodies. While Duden has a complex argument about the evolution of the body, what I found most engaging was the way she makes the doctor patient relationship vivid. Although it may be an artifact of Duden's efforts at 'construction' I was struck by how similarly these women viewed their bodies and their illnesses. I was disappointed that Duden did not seem interested in the history of these views, instead treating them as timeless. I was also interested in the way the doctor's view of the body and illness, while different from that of the women he treated, allowed him to synchronize his efforts with their complaints. I was struck by the way that his ideas seemed to bear more relationship to his patient's ideas than to the theories of his teachers. This is an important book for thinking about doctor patient relationships as well as the history of ideas about the body.
