A pediatrician reflects on her father's passing during her final year of medical school. A Muslim surgeon contemplates whether residency has replaced his faith. An orthopedic surgeon wonders, after a decade of training, if he made the right choices after the death of his brother-in-law. An African American resident painfully asks: Do Black lives truly matter to white coats? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor decades, medical humanists have advocated for attending to patients as \"whole persons.\" So, too, the time has come to see physicians as \"whole persons.\" In this urgent, moving collection of essays, a diverse group of early-career physicians write about common experiences in medicine--such as the grueling nature of internship and residency--from a fresh, up-to-date perspective. With particular attention how to the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, and identity influence clinicians' experiences as caregivers, the featured practitioner-authors reflect on endurance, suffering, and the politics of wellness across their personal and professional lives, delicately capturing a new dimension of healthcare previously unfamiliar to wider audiences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedicine, Meaning, and Identity \u003c\/em\u003einvites readers to reconsider the doctor not as a hero, but rather as a complex, whole person; not merely as a healer, but as an integral community member in acute need of healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keisha Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197697380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197697382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Keisha Ray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807210164479,"sku":"9780197697382","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed7face1-e133-4d41-8587-d68f883abea9.jpg?v=1745378837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medicine-meaning-and-identity-keisha-ray-9780197697382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
