In \u003ci\u003eIncidental Findings,\u003c\/i\u003e she's finished her training and is learning through practice to become a more rounded healer. The book opens with a dramatic tale of the tables being turned on Dr. Ofri: She's had to shed the precious white coat and credentials she worked so hard to earn and enter her own hospital as a patient. She experiences the real'slight prick and pressure' of a long needle as well as the very real sense of invasion and panic that routinely visits her patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese fifteen intertwined tales include 'Living Will,' where Dr. Ofri treats a man who has lost the will to live, and she too comes dangerously close to concluding that he has nothing to live for;'Common Ground,' in which a patient's difficult decision to have an abortion highlights the vulnerabilities of doctor and patient alike;'Acne,' where she is confronted by a patient whose physical and emotional abuse she can't possibly heal, so she must settle on treating the one thing she can, the least of her patient's problems; and finally a stunning concluding chapter,'Tools of the Trade,' where Dr. Ofri's touch is the last in a woman's long life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030474735856,"sku":"9780807072677","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807072677_p0.jpg?v=1763739355","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807072677","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
