Family Doctors Say Goodbye: Shifting Grounds and Relationships

本書探討家庭醫生與病人之間的關係以及結束該關係的過程。當一位家庭醫生或類似角色，深深投入於長期關係，決定結束這些承諾時，會發生什麼？涉及哪些內容？對於醫生與病人、醫生與工作人員、醫療領導者與其他人來說，這些經歷是什麼？接下來會發生什麼？本書邀請讀者沉浸於選擇退休、離開長期領導角色或從深厚的關係承諾轉向其他事物的家庭醫生的個人故事和反思中。這些故事涉及家庭醫學和一般醫療的具體情況，但它們與任何根植於契約而非交易的關係所帶來的責任、挑戰和回報的職業有著許多共同之處。本書對所有參與療癒關係的專業人士都具有相關性。
