Reviews give further views
In this week's reviews section, Guardian columnist Polly
Toynbee (p 718) asks whether the new edition of Tomorrow's
Doctors is an idealistic or practical standard to be set for new
doctors. Comedian and writer Arthur Smith (p 723) gives us his 15 rules for doctors, which were formulated from his recent experience as a
patient; they include: "Make sure that no one dies and everyone gets
better." Psychoanalyst Jeremy Holmes (p 722) writes that the search
for the good doctor is an illusion and that we should learn to bring
our good and bad parts together to become a "good enough" doctor.
