More quotes by Melvin Konner
A touching and compassionate yet completely professional account of the psychological--indeed spiritual--dimensions of the doctorDpatient relationship that make the difference between fixing and healing.
Melvin Konner
Intern is not just a gripping tale of becoming a doctor. It's also a courageous critique, a saga of an immigrant family living (at times a little uneasily) the American dream, and even a love story. A great read and a valuable addition to the literature—and I use the word advisedly—of medical training.
Melvin Konner
In order to be treated fairly and equally, chidren have to be treated differently.
Melvin Konner
If it's working, keep doing it. If it's not working, stop doing it. If you don't know what to do, don't do anything.
