Characteristics of Compassion: Portraits of Exemplary Physicians profiles recipients of the prestigious "Excellence in Medicine" award given by the American Medical Association. Today’s physicians are faced with many challenges and can no longer devote the greater part of their working hours directly to patient care. They are presented with reams of insurance and legal-related paperwork, the constant threat of malpractice, and a burgeoning patient population. Despite these obstacles, some physicians enter the profession with deeply held convictions, hopes, and idealism, and go on to excel not just as medical doctors, but as human beings. Some of the profiles include:

  • The Woman Who Answered More Than One Calling

  • Supporting This Small and Sickly World

  • Finding Peace on the Other Side of Trauma

  • The Doctor Who Flunked Retirement

  • A Voice for the Urban and Rural Poor

  • Making Common Ground for Faith and Health

  • Listening to Many Truths

  • Inheriting a Commitment to Service

  • What’s Harder Than Brain Surgery? Mobilizing the Healthcare Community

  • His Rx: Spiritual Healing

  • Living from Missing to Mission

  • Having an Impact on Health in the Small City and Leaving a Bigger Legacy

  • Have Compassionate Care, Will Travel

  • The Kindest Cut: Surgery with Soul

Characteristics of Compassion uncovers what sets these outstanding doctors apart from their peers to inspire other medical professionals and their patients. You may view these sample:

This thought provoking book provides first hand accounts from the front lines of medicine and identifies a rich description of traits shared by today's leading physicians.
