Common Bonds: Reflections of a Cancer Doctor offers cancer patients and their families, friends, and health care workers a unique opportunity to examine the mind and conscience of a busy cancer practitioner. It offers a compassionate and inspiring look at a major, overlooked aspect of the battle against cancer. As such, this book opens the door to better communication and understanding and creates greater patient awareness of the physician's often hidden emotional involvement.Taken from the rigors of Dr. Berger's daily life, including actual cases, Common Bonds offers a moving, illuminating narrative of wonderful, wild, and woeful accounts of doctor-patient relationships. You'll feel compelled to keep reading, even long stretches, to determine the fate of the various patients introduced.The stories Dr. Berger provides are about people to whom other cancer patients can easily relate. The interactions he describes are certain to help readers more readily fathom their own behavior with their doctors, and thus help foster a more healing doctor-patient-family relationship.
