Binding: Paperback
Description: Object Lessons is a series of short beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. A 3 - year - old asks her physician father about his job and his inability to provide a succinct and accurate answer inspires a critical look at the profession of modern medicine. In sorting through how patients insurance companies advertising agencies filmmakers and comedians misconstrue a doctor's role Andrew Bomback M. D. realizes that even doctors struggle to define their profession. 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.
