(6) Have you read many other books written by Drs? How did this one compare? Would you recommend it to people not working in healthcare?

(5) In ch 13 'Dr Scrooge's casebook' Laune visits a patient at home with a 'perforated lung' - he mentions when writings a letter for the ambulance crew the 'clipped, logical & efficient language of medicine' What did you think of this reflection?

(4) In ch 37 'the facts of death' Launer says 'it still remains true that drs are mostly not good about death & dying' - do you think this is a fair assessment?
