"Perri Klass, a pediatrician, writes of her experiences in medical school and practice as her son is applying to medical school. This heart felt, honest book talks about the joys and challenges of being a doctor, about the privilege of being a part of other's lives especially in times of crisis and the changes medicine is seeing today as compared with 20 years ago. It must be a great encouragement to her son. I enjoyed it as we have a lot of doctors in our family and it brought back memories of marriage while my husaband was in medical school."
"helpful, to say the least, for any aspiring pre-med or med student! Full of practical advice, wittisisms, and plain ol' motherly love, Treatment kind and fair takes the readers on a voyage through the ever-expanding world of Medicine. what makes this book particularly endearing is the format from which the stories are told - letters, letters to the author's own son :) how precious. check it out."
"I loved this book! Dr. Klass has such a warm and personable manner. She is writing letters to her son about being a doctor. She tells what a privilege it is to be a doctor, to be invited into peoples' lives. She talks about the awesome responsibility it is to be with patients during the very worst and best times of their lives. I think everyone who is considering medicine should read this book."
