As the author attempts to unravel how much of doctoring is role-playing, artifice, and bluffing, he examines the career of his father, a legendary pediatrician on the verge of retirement, and the health of his infant son, who is suffering from a vague assortment of gastrointestinal symptoms.At turns serious, comedic, analytical, and confessional, Doctor offers an unflinching look at what it means to be a physician today.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091814314272,"sku":"NEW150133817X","price":17.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/doctor-object-lessons-150133817x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
