“Each patient I have seen over these four decades has made me a better doctor. Books do not impact long term memory the way a real patient can. I once heard the chair of medicine at a teaching hospital say that the worst thing about being on call every other night as an intern is missing half the patients. I now know he was right.

John F. McGeehan is an internal medicine physician.
He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, “Every patient makes me a better doctor.”
