Tekst achterflap

What they never teach in medical school – but what doctors encounter every day."

Medicine may be grounded in science, but in practice, it is a world of unpredictability, emotion, and strange surprises. Far from the polished halls of academia, real-life healthcare unfolds in hospital corridors at 3 a.m., in exam rooms filled with uncertainty, and in the quiet chaos where human error, humor, and hope collide.

"What Doctors Never Learn in Medical School" is a rich, often hilarious, and deeply human collection of over 100 true stories from the fascinating, messy world of medicine. Discover the long-forgotten belief in “wandering wombs,” the era when radium was a wellness trend, and the patient who calmly diagnosed his doctor during a check-up.

But this book isn’t just a catalog of medical oddities. It’s a tribute to the fallibility and resilience of both doctors and patients. These stories reveal a world where certainty is rare, where treatments sometimes fail, and where the most valuable lesson might be learning to say, “I don’t know.”

For healthcare workers, it’s a familiar mirror. For everyone else, it’s a wildly entertaining, occasionally sobering tour behind the scenes
