Doctors Cry Too!: Essays from the Heart of a Physician by Frank H. BoehmMy rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
The author co-writes a column for his local newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee related to being a doctor. This book is a compilation of some of the essays that appeared there that he wrote. Each essay is fairly short, only takes a couple of minutes of reading. The grouping of the essays is into four sections, with the last the longest part of the book, titled “A Personal Point of View”, however, all of the essays could fall into that category.
The book is somewhat dated, since the essays were written mostly in the late 1990s. Medical advancements and understanding the human body have improved since then, making some of the advice not accurate any longer. But for the most part what he says, such as living life the fullest, is always good advice.
Many of the essays are personal, discussing his family and friends, as well as his own life. The book was okay, very heartfelt from the author, but not too sure how much I truly got out of the book. If it was a longer book not sure I would have read it entirely.
