Still A Doctor

The Life Of A Physician

By: Bernard Mansheim

The practice of medicine is a complex blend of art and science. Still A Doctor is a novel that chronicles the career of Dr. Luke James, beginning with the most grueling year of any physician's training- the internship. Armed with knowledge and confidence, Luke then embarks on a long and sinuous professional career as a physician. Over the years as he gains experience, Luke finds his path studded with challenges and road blocks that seem at times to be insurmountable. He carries an ever-growing emotional burden of caring for patients year after year, always searching for how to be the best doctor he can. The reader will gain insight into the practice of medicine through the thoughts, feelings and observations of Dr. James as he confronts death and dying, ethical dilemmas, medical malpractice, and the importance of empathy. Book Review: The author does a superb job of describing the inner psychological life of the protagonist, Dr. Luke James, using a deep point of view very adeptly to characterize him, his thoughts, and his state of mind. It is an honest and insightful portrayal of a medical practitioner's daily struggles with the inevitability of death...poignant, exceptionally daunting, and valiant. -- Chanticleer Reviews (1st Place winner of Somerset Awards)

Todi Walking Tours

Walking-Tour Guide for English-Speaking Visitors

By: Bernard Mansheim,Claudio Peri

This book is a walking-tour guide for English-speaking visitors, through an ancient hill town in central Italy. Todi sits majestically above the Tiber River in the region of Umbria, very near the exact geographic center of Italy in Umbria. This region, known widely as "the green heart of Italy" for its lush fields and majestic hills, lies midway between Florence and Rome. Todi, a prototypical Italian hill town, was founded over 2,500 years ago and has retained its historic beauty by being surrounded by a set of walls that has prevented any new construction and experienced almost no demolition for over 500 years. The guide offers four walking tours that allow the visitor to appreciate historic sites from the Etruscan era, through the Roman centuries, and into the Renaissance. Each walk can be done in a leisurely fashion with almost no distraction from noise or car traffic.

A Doctor a Day

A Doctor a Day

By: Bernard Mansheim

A Doctor a Day is a novel about one physician and the physical, emotional and psychological toll of his dedication. He’s a good doctor with ten years of unrelenting care for dying patients and their families. The pressure becomes unbearable when he is sued for malpractice, leading him to consider suicide as the only escape. Though the story is fictional, it reflects the all too common, real-life issues faced by practicing physicians in today’s world. Why did I write this novel? My major goal was to provide insight into the mind of a physician by following the main character, Dr. Luke James, through his tenth year of medical practice. You become privy to his challenges and fears, unmasking the psychological burden he endures. It serves as an example of what many of today’s physicians experience during their careers and how some can be driven to extremes. In the real world, an air of medical infallibility is still the prerequisite to instilling patient confidence. This expectation presents an unrealistic, psychologically exhausting burden ultimately damaging to doctors and patients alike. It might help explain why the physician suicide rate is fifty percent greater than the general population. Even worse, the mental health support systems designed to help physicians are severely lacking. This leads to the all-important question—especially critical given our continual demand for good medical care—Who heals our healers?

The Making of a Doctor

By: Bernard Mansheim

The Making of a Doctor is a novel about a young physician, Dr. Luke James. The story chronicles his year as a medical intern, the most grueling year of any physician's professional training. The book is a prequel to the novel he published in 2017 entitled A Doctor a Day. The first book tells of Dr. James's experience in medical practice, as he suffers unending emotional pressure from caring for dying patients year after year. The current novel weaves Luke's life experiences with his medical training, where he evolves from a new medical school graduate to a seasoned physician during an unforgettable year. Not only does he suffer through the physical exhaustion of his internship, but multiple external factors have an impact that makes the burden even heavier. He learns first-hand how to blend art and science into the practice of medicine, and to learn empathy for his patients without being drowned in a whirlpool of emotion. At the other extreme he needs to learn that cold objectivity is not a solution because it detracts from his ability to understand each patient as an individual. This book is the second in a planned series called Everydoctor.

DuPont Landing

A Retirement Story

By: Bernard Mansheim

Gabe and Jenny Steele are looking forward to years, perhaps decades, as retirees. They ask themselves all the right questions: Where should we spend our retirement? Can we afford to move? How will we fill our time in the final chapter of our life? They choose a place, DuPont Landing, a small member-owned community on an island with no bridge which is only accessed by ferry. All motorized transportation on the small island is limited to golf carts. They revel in the natural beauty and solitude, participate in social activities, and watch sunsets on a private beach far from the hustle and bustle of their former urban world. But life often holds many surprises as we journey toward the future. Gabe and Jenny find themselves facing obstacles they never anticipated. This book targets anyone who stands at the threshold of retirement after a long career. If you are relatively healthy, you must account for years, even decades, of future life experiences. As the fictional tale follows the odyssey of the protagonist and his wife as they face challenges and learn new lessons, the story offers the reader food for thought.
