“Book Descriptions: The Cure for Good Intentions is about a life-changing decision. At the age of twenty-eight, Sophie Harrison left her job as an editor at a prestigious literary magazine and put herself through medical school and hospital training before becoming a GP. From peaceful office days spent writing tactful comments on manuscripts, she entered a world that spoke an entirely different language. The scenes were familiar from television and books- long corridors, busy wards, stern consultants, anxious patients- but what was her part in it all? Back in the community as a new GP, the question grew ever more pressing.
This is a book about how a doctor is made: it asks what a doctor does, and what a doctor is. What signifies a doctor: a bedside manner? A mode of dress? A stethoscope? What is empathy, and what does it achieve? How do we deal with pain, our own and other people’s? The Cure for Good Intentions is an outsider’s look at the inside of a profession that has never been so scrutinised, or so misunderstood.” DRIVE
