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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Beacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118506983664,"sku":"9780807097281","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807097281_p0.jpg?v=1763726342","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807097281","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
