(1 reviews) Author: ISBN : 9780674097384 New from $24.75 Format: PDFFrancis W. Peabody entered medical school in 1903 and almost at once was recognized as an extraordinary human being. After a varied and exciting indoctrination in his profession, including responsibility for children ill with the dreaded poliomyelitis, an extensive medical trip to China, and an unintended role in the start of the Bolshevik Russian Revolution, he became the enormously successful chief of a new Harvard unit at the Boston City Hospital. The expectations for a long productive life were snuffed out by cancer six years later when he was only 45. Gifted in many spheres and possessed of great courage, his especial compassion and wisdom in patient care have made Francis Peabody's short life an inspiring legend for all time, an essential message for anyone who practices medicine, and an uplifting experience for any patient.

The Caring Physician: The Life of Dr. Francis W. Peabody PDF
The Caring Physician, the story of Dr. Francis W. Peabody, was an inspiration to me. Dr. Peabody's professional life, e.g. how he grew into his role as an M.D., how seriously he regarded his responsibilites, and how he cared for his patients are essential messages for us in health-care today.By Janice E.
