“A loving and lovely book. It will remind patients to see their doctors as human beings and remind doctors of their obligation to be human beings first.” — Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
“I believe that Doctors Cry, Too makes an important contribution toward guiding physicians, as well as others in the helping professions, to recognize their personal feelings of compassion without interfering with their professional responsibilities. I read this book with great interest and found it to be thought-provoking.” — Dr. Ruth Westheimer, author and TV personality
“Boehm’s stories are filled with examples of what can happen when compassion is a part of the process. . . . This book should be read by every present and future doctor and every patient.” — Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Prescriptions for Living
“With healing doses of humor, insight, and just plain common sense, Dr. Frank Boehm takes us into his heart more skillfully than any scalpel, revealing deep wells of compassion and restoring our faith and trust in the medical profession. With each essay, he assures us that the patient is paramount, the physician humane and caring, and the profession better prepared than ever before to meet the challenges of the century ahead. Doctors Cry, Too is must-reading, not only for patients, but for the next generation of physicians, as well.” — Bill Frist, M.D., U.S. senator from Tennessee
“For many years I have known Dr. Frank Boehm as a great physician. Doctors Cry, Too proves with warmth and wisdom that he can also heal with his words.”— Crystal Gayle, singer
