A
psychologist's
stories
of
doctors
who
seek
to
help
others
but
struggle
to
help
themselves
FromERandM*A*S*HtoGrey's
AnatomyandHouse,
the
medical
drama
endures
for
good
reason:
we're
fascinated
by
the
people
we
must
trust
when
we
are
most
vulnerable.
InAlso
Human,
vocational
psychologist
Caroline
Elton
introduces
us
to
some
of
the
distressed
physicians
who
have
come
to
her
for
help:
doctors
who
face
psychological
challenges
that
threaten
to
destroy
their
careers
and
lives,
including
an
obstetrician
grappling
with
his
own
homosexuality,
a
high-achieving
junior
doctor
who
walks
out
of
her
first
job
within
weeks
of
starting,
and
an
oncology
resident
who
faints
when
confronted
with
cancer
patients.
Entering
a
doctor's
office
can
be
terrifying,
sometimes
for
the
doctor
most
of
all.
By
examining
the
inner
lives
of
these
professionals,Also
Humanoffers
readers
insight
into,
and
empathy
for,
the
very
real
struggles
of
those
who
hold
power
over
life
and
death.
