"A necessary and urgent collection of immense wisdom and humor, vulnerability and strength, and, most of all, the voices of extraordinary women." -Jay Baruch, MD, author of Tornado of Life: A Doctor's Journey through Constraints and Creativity in the ER "If it's possible for the pages of a book to actually live and breathe in your hands, this is it. These pages move and have a pulse of their own. The prose is exceptional; the stories are absolutely captivating. Each page is a gem in its own right. I will never look at my female colleagues the same way again; I don't think I appreciated the extra level of heroism required of women in medicine. I'm a better person for having read What We Bring to the Practice of Medicine." -Louis M. Profeta, MD, author of The Patient in Room Nine Says He's God "Raw, genuine accounts of . . . medical professionals. These are personal narratives by female physicians juggling professional and personal roles, struggling with grief and exceptionally long hours, sacrificing, and facing fear. Each vignette provides a new angle, a new struggle, a new reward." -Kathleen O'Shea, author of So Much More Than a Headache: Understanding Migraine through Literature
