What Every Doctor Should Know But Was Never Taught In Medical School ReviewAs I read this book, often, I said "I know that!" - and then I realized that I had learned these things the hard way. Dr. Harbin has written something that, in most places, simply doesn't exist, and, in the remainder, is a mish-mash of photocopied articles, meeting minutes, and random items clipped from magazines and journals. His book collates these issues, and they are issues that, for the most part, were not addressed in any fashion when I was in residency (he speaks of money management, and his perspective as a doctor first, and then having an MBA, is quite helpful) except for financial management (as instruction in this was dictated by my residency review committee). Undergraduate medical education and medical residency training teach a doctor the medicine, but, essentially, just that - not how it interfaces with the rest of society.
This book is not a medical textbook - were it so, Dr. Harbin's being an ophthalmologist would make it quite limiting. What it is, though, is something that transcends medical specialties, and looks at things from an oblique angle - as a solo practitioner, group member, and hospital employee. He discusses the cost of overhead, and staffing issues. One passage I found chilling is when the author described a way to "read between the lines" concerning speaking with a manager of another group who was a reference for an applicant - he described how one can tell the other that there is something bad in the applicant's past, but not by actually saying anything, so there's no "there" there - nothing is actually said, but the message is clearly transmitted. No blood, no foul. However, that underscores the practicality and applicability of this book. The book also discusses certain personality types that a physician might encounter; the ones mentioned are those that have the propensity to create friction (such as the greedy doctor and the sociopath). Nice guys don't get a mention here.
Although some anecdotes are presented to illustrate points, the book does not bog down in war stories. The book is an easy read, too, and shows up at just over 200 pages.
When I finished residency, one of the things in a "goodie bag" that was distributed to us was a book - I believe it was "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", but I must confess that I never read it - that the boss felt would really be helpful for us. I feel that this work by Dr. Harbin can supersede that. I am going to recommend that my former program director and the chairman of emergency medicine at two other programs give a copy of this book to residents in their penultimate year of training. It will serve as a blueprint.What Every Doctor Should Know But Was Never Taught In Medical School Overview
