About the book

As the name suggest, the book is an account about Patient- Doctor relationships. The book is divided into thirty four chapters ,where different doctors has expressed their own experiences with the patients . Each story starts with unique quotation which is unique and again forces readers to think.

As the experiences are real not every story sings a happy song. Real life bitter experiences have been there too. Through the stories they have not only shared what they have experienced but also they have pointed what is wrong .

My views

Dear People, With Love and Care, your doctors – is first of all something new I read this year.“ Doctor“ is a profession which fascinated by almost everyone. But nowadays the patient-doctor relationship is at a question and trust is not there. The stories in this book are enough to clear most of the doubts .

The stories end with a “Do you know “ part which is an important note related to that particular topic and of course needless to say they are helpful, and we should be aware of them .

I think the book could be better if there were less medical terms because we the people who aren’t from that background it’s difficult to understand those terms .

I want to give it 4/5 ⭐️
