"""Michael, Vihangi and Leanne are indeed the best doctors to author Every Doctor because they have demonstrated in this book how much they understand about us as medical practitioners, as leaders and advocates, and about our journeys and our future. They share precious experience and offer precious advice."" - Dr Donald Li, Hong Kong, China; Past President, World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) ""This book will challenge, question and support us to be more aware of both the risks we run as doctors, and how we can deal with them effectively and fruitfully. Read it alone, or with colleagues, and then discuss – it will be worth it."" - Professor Amanda Howe OBE, Past President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, UK; Past President, World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) ""Many healthcare professionals view their future, and their patients’ futures, with dismay, feeling theirs is a profession under siege. This book has many fine and practical suggestions for improving one’s life as a clinician. All of these recommendations – and more besides -- come with practical exercises to help clinicians to manage them. For this reason, I would recommend this brief book, not just for every doctor, but also for any health care professional … the kind of caring and active listening encouraged by Rowe and Kidd strengthens the bond between patient and professional and assures the patient the clinician will always be there for them. This book will help clinicians be more resilient and less liable to feel ""under seige"" - Philip C Hébert MD PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Family and Community Medicine, Sunnybrook, Health Sciences Centre, University of Toronto, Canada"
