Book Description
In beautifully crafted vignettes, physician and NPR commentator David Watts explores the world of modern-day medicine and reveals the emotional truths and practical realities at the heart of the doctor-patient relationship. Bedside Manners is an engaging, often surprising investigation into what happens when we sit down and talk openly about vital issues of health and mortality.
Combining the grace and precision of a poet with the down-to-earth, compassionate manner of a doctor who deals with the problems of real people every day, Watts describes situations both odd and touching: the patient who stays awake during an endoscopy to ward off demons; the woman who recites poetry to get through a frightening treatment; the man who arrives at Watts’s office bearing Internet research on syndromes that have little to do with his own condition; and the seventy-four-year-old architect who faces a tough cancer diagnosis with dignity and courage.
Readers will come away from these tales of difficult diagnoses, irreverent colleagues, brave survivors, and examining-room poseurs sharing Watts’s own sense of humbled astonishment. As he tells each story, Watts closes for the reader the protective distance many doctors employ, and touches all of us who have felt vulnerable in the position of patient. Refreshing, wry, and reassuring, Bedside Manners holds important lessons for both healers and those who seek their help.

A gem of a book.......2006-09-22
I loved this book. It really gets to the heart of the matter on so many levels. Each story is a snapshot of intimate interactions. David Watts is a wonderful storyteller. It's real and honest.
Masterful description.......2006-07-09
I thought this book captured the doctor's life extremely well--it came alive. RMP
Gripping stories from the doctor you wish was yours.......2005-08-27
This is a beautifully written memoir from the doctor you wish was yours. The book's subtitle perfectly captures the substance of this book: "one doctor's reflections on the oddly intimate encounters between patient and healer." If you've ever wondered what a doctor is thinking as he or she examines patients, here's your chance to eavesdrop.
In story after story, you get a taste of the life's richness -- from the joy of learning a self-diagnosis is not nearly as dire as the actual problem to the tragedy of a beautiful young girl who keeps coming back to the hospital because her boyfriend refuses to admit he's got a STD, from the gripping story of a patient reliving his WWII experience coming upon a concentration camp before it was widely known such camps existed to the mystery of a medical student injuring herself essentially for the attention.
You see it all this richness through the eyes of a doctor who has a poet's sensitivity and fluency with language. Here's an example of the beautiful prose throughout this book: "My stethoscope glides over the surface of the abdomen like a stone skipping over a flexible sheen of water, listening first, not to disturb the delicate organs huddled and hiding below."
The doctor also has a great sense of humor. Here's what happens when the father of one of his hopital staff nurses arrives at this office:
We've got a problem, my reception says.
Yes, I say. He wasn't suppoed to come today.
Not that, she says. He's HMO.
HMO. HMO. Poor bastard. Sick with restrictions.
(I typed out those lines pretty much as they are appear in the book -- the good doctor leaves out lots of the typical punctuation that accompanies dialog, which sometimes makes you wonder who's speaking. But surprisingly the light punctuation style works well overall by helping to seemlessly blend the interior and spoken dialog.)
Doctors face life and death everyday, a vantage point few of us have in our too-busy-to-slow-down lives. And while this book is not a didactic or prescriptive "here's how you should think about life" book, its stories naturally make you think about your own outlook and approach towards living.
The jacket cover says Dr. Watts is a regular commentator on NPR and indeed some of these stories are based on his NPR contributions. Reading them definitely makes me want to search the NPR archives as well as tune in for his next broadcasts.
powerful prescription for the soul, funny bone, heart........2005-04-14
Maybe i'm a bit biased here, as David's web master, a resident of the same village and an occasional family visitor - i don't think so.
What i do think is that a book which is such an alloy of insight, humor, entertainment and nourishment for the soul is a rare treat.
What can i say? I laughed, i cried, i can't wait to read it again.
And it washed clean away the divide that can seep into our hearts and slightly blur our outlook, subtly separating us from others. A gentle reminder of how much we share.
His Horse Wanted Prose.......2005-03-15
Be forewarned-in David Watts' new book, "Bedside Manners", you may encounter yourself. Whether cast in the role of the caring physician, the neurotic patient, an idealistic trainee, husband, or father, the sensitive reader can explore a vicarious experience in the stories of David Watts' newest book in a very honest and often revealing way.
Previously published as a poet, Dr. Watts has produced his first prose work with this collection of stories in "Bedside Manners". By his own admission, this native Texan writes: "[S]ometimes you have to go where the horse wants you to go. My horse apparently wanted prose and wanted it to speak of the struggles of doctors and patients."
Dr. Watts distills his stories from moments in the life of a seasoned physician. Some of these stories from medical school and residency training are filled with idealism and hope. Others stem from the work he has done with terminally ill patients, helping them transition to death-each along a unique path.
These tales in turn are juxtaposed against those of patients who are driven to seek care, attention and solace for factitious medical problems. Dr. Watts deftly examines how patient care can influence those personal relationships that practitioners have with their own families-affects which can heal or reveal emotional scars.
In his writings, Dr. Watts masterfully records the feelings that a patient evokes in him during a medical encounter: "A strange sense of frustration, almost impatience, came over me. I wasn't sure why." He speaks of the guilt that inevitably follows. These are feelings known only to practitioners; few will admit to having them, and thankfully patients remain unaware of them.
I found some of these patient encounters to be humorous, some ironic, others heart-breaking or frustrating, some poignant-but all authentic. As I read through these vignettes I sensed a closeness with Dr. Watts and his patients. His writings will evoke a camaraderie among physician readers-a homecoming of sorts. In the busy world of day to day practice, where the human touch is many times displaced by the endless paperwork of medical charts and insurance claim forms, Dr. Watts has found a way to acknowledge these frustrations and continue to be a compassionate physician.
A doctor to his patients and a voice for his colleagues-for those who struggle with the demands of life, family, and vocation-Dr. Watts is a healer in the truest sense. Reading these stories will change lives. They just might change your life, too.

Fabulous!.......2004-12-16
It seems like forever since I read the last (terrific) Landry brother book by Kelsey Roberts. BEDSIDE MANNER reminded me of just how much I loved these guys! Chance Landry and Valerie Greene's relationship sizzles with sexual tension, and their dialogue is, at times, pithy and funny, and others serious and intense, and always very real . The wonderfully well fleshed out characters and intriguing plot had me turning pages late into the night. Can't wait to read about the next Landry brother!
Worth the Wait!.......2004-12-14
Bedside Manner picks up the Landry Brothers again and I was so excited to finally get to read them. This is the best author in the series and I really loved Bedside Manner and I can't wait for the next one to come out. Kelsey Roberts is my favorite Intrigue author.

Sensitive Visiting in Hospitals.......2001-10-01
Just as it is important for medical doctors to have
good bedside manners, so it is equally important for those
who visit the sick for comfort, prayers, and friendship to
make brief, caring visits. "Do no harm" is the first rule
of medicine and Katie Maxwell has demonstrated that in this
book. The "BE" attitudes of visiting (chapter one) is a gem
of practical suggestions: be open, be respectful, be sensitive
to their needs, and so forth.
Both new people making hospital or nursing home visits
and seasoned hospital chaplains, ministers, priests, and
rabbis will benefit from this book. We may "know" a lot about
psychology or caring, but this book emphasizes "being" present
to the patient in realistic, caring ways. I highly recommend it.
A Little Gem of Bedside Manners.......2000-05-26
Bedside Manners: A Pactical Guide To Visiting The Ill, By KatieMaxwell
There comes a time when all of us feel a need for betterpeople skills. That time is when we must attend a funeral or visit a sick friend or family member. Bedside Manners is a little book that can help with the latter situation.
This is fast reading. The author gets right to the point, using very little in the way of socio-philosophical explanation. This makes for brevity. It is also grounded in common sense. Katie Maxwell is a hospital visitor (pastoral visitor) who has gleaned information not only from her experience, but from patients, nurses, chaplains, and other lay visitors.
Beside Manners is based on the author's own experience at American River Hospital in Carmichael, California and its message is supported by prayer and faith (no religious denominations mentioned).
It begins with a list of do's and don't's. Some of these suggestions are:
Do - Visit before surgery, Touch, Take along your sense of humor, Take your cues from the patient about how long you should stay, Visit quietly out of consideration for the patient's roommates, Keep any information shared with you confidential, Maintain comfortable eye contact (this means eye level, not standing over the bed, Make pleasant conversation,...
Do - Check with the nurse before you help the patient out of bed, Be aware of the patient's diet before offering food or drink, Talk about the outside world, Sit close, Knock and receive permission before you enter a room, especially when the door is closed or a curtain is pulled, Be cheerful, Make the patient feel needed, ...
Do - Avoid addressing the patient as "honey," "sweetie," Ask how you can help, Avoid probing or rapid-fire questions, Think of your visit as a social visit, not something you are obligated to do, Be sensitive about how you expose your own anxieties, Read to them if they like, Let the patient cry, Affirm their loss whatever it may be, Focus the conversation on the patient, not on your problems, Take a little surprise, End the visit well.
Don't - Let the technology become a barrier to your visit, Sit on the patient's bed or an empty bed, Flatter the patient, Take the patient's negativism personally, Get involved in family disputes, Negate their feelings,...
Don't - Make promises you can't keep, Tell horror stories or compare illnesses, Finish their sentences for them, Assume anything, Defend God or anyone else, Be judgmental, Wake up a patient, Try to cheer up patients when they really want to talk about how scared they feel.
The book also contains insightful information on visiting shut-ins, nursing homes, children, the terminally ill and helping a primary caregiver. An appendix of suggested Scripture readings and an appendix listing support groups for the ill and their caregivers complete this little 112 page gem.

Embarrassing. Sophomoric. Badly in need of editing.
Save your money.
Fantasy.......2002-01-02
This book reads like a male adolescent fantasy. Uneven prose. Unbelievable hospital antics. No wonder people have unrealistic expectations of their physicians if this is presented as reality....
When Does The Movie Come Out???.......2001-11-10
What a great surprise -- to pick up a book from an unknown author and revel in the sinister schemes and suspicious scoundrels lurking among the pages of this medical thriller. Set within the political, frenzied and feudalistic arena of a world class medical center, Bedside Manners is highly readable and utterly captivating, with unexpected characters threading their way through twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and cause one to wonder whether health insurance is all it's cracked up to be??
So you want to be a doctor?.......2001-10-31
As a colleague of Dr. Maisel, I bought this book initially to support him, having heard through the years of his writing and efforts to secure publication. However, this was a wonderful read that would have justified purchase by anyone. For those who know him, Alan's book is just like him; witty, stylish, and unpredictable. This makes for a great read and a book you can't put down as you follow Danny's roller coaster progress through the trials of a highly unconventional medical residency. Despite his tribulations, this clever mystery almost had me ready to sign up for the MCAT's, as Maisel has captured the camerarderie, triumphs and tears of medical training so well. You can't go wrong with this page turner, particularly for a holiday read (or sleepness nights on call). Amazing that it is his first book.
" Bedside Manners" title is a fooler-it is so much more.......2001-08-27
I enjoy my books and always sadly feel a parting from the characters once I finish a final chapter. With Dr. Maizels's book I was so relieved for Dr Danny Raskin to finally have a chance to relax, that I felt I had delivered that to him myself, personally by the reading. It was suspenseful all the way. Each chapter ended with such a jolt that it could not be put down. A wonderful summer read at the beach let me tell you !!! Our copy will now accompany my sister on a ski lodge holiday... so Alan Maizel is an author for all seasons. Please advise of book # 2. Enthusiastically, Dr Carl J. and Jessica Mader of Maders Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada

Yusaku Godai's grandmother, who came for an extended visit to his apartment building, Maison Ikkoku, has finally decided to leave her grandson alone and not meddle in his affairs--specifically his romantic interest in the apartment manager Kyoko. But before Grandma leaves, she throws a big party and occupies herself with a bit of dream-date matchmaking among the drunken guests. If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Imagine Godai's anguished surprise as he finds out that his rival for Kyoko's affection, Coach Mitaka, is moving into the room next to his! --Jim Pascoe

LAID UP IN BED WAITING FOR KYOKO.......2006-07-31
Yusaku's grandma is finally going home after what seems like months and Yusaku couldn't be happier. She fit in too well with the other neighbors of Maison Ikkoku that made it their business to torture poor Godai. But she's not going without one last parting shot at getting involved in Yusaku's lovelife. She's asked Kyoko to go out on a date with her grandson! Of course, we all know the date won't turn out like Yusaku fantasizes it will, especially with all his housemates showing up everywhere the couple goes! Godai is also still suffering from an inability to break it off with his on-again off-again girlfriend Kozue. When she knits a sweater for him, Kyoko finds herself unwillingly jealous. In a fight over it, Kyoko causes Yusaku to get injured and he has to spend time in the hospital. Could this be the opportunity he's always wanted? What better way to get attention than from a woman who feels guilty for causing him to get hurt?
Maison Ikkoku is a classic manga which always has a excellent balance and pacing to its storylines. The cool thing about Volume 6 is that we finally get to see some tender moments between Kyoko and Godai which I don't remember seeing before. Yes, they fight with each other, but in little glimpses we see that the two might love each other for real, and not in a puppy dog fashion, but as a man and woman. Their little tiffs are usually based on jealousy or hurt feelings which really disguise their mutual affection. But most of the book is peppersprayed with funny comedy. The art is excellent with the backgrounds especially standing out for the great attention to detail. Awesome manga!
much ado about a hickey, etc........2005-12-05
The funniest scene in this book is the "hickey" drama, and how much trouble it brought Godai... Not to mention the horrible way he got it! (yeee-uck!) But still, this one has great laughs. Kyoko's actions seem pretty internally inconsistent IMO, because she does not seem to be okay with either Mitaka nor Godai having possible romantic interests besides herself, but at the same time she seems to have no problem with the fact that she's keeping two swains on the line herself... OTOH, in real life, people aren't as consistent as computers, and so it makes the manga seem both more real, and also gives plenty of laughs, I'm all for it.
Granny comes to visit.......2004-08-23
New and stranger troubles visit Yusaku Godai in the sixth volume of the newly rereleased "Maison Ikkoku Volume 6." Rumiko Takahashi's hapless hero continues his efforts to win the woman of his dreams, despite the gaggle of weirdos that surrounds him. And you get the "Lost Episode" too.
It opens with a baseball game, in which Akemi's boss manages to recruit to the residents of Maison Ikkoku (plus hunky Coach Mitaka) to play. Then Godai and Kyoko's relationship hits a huge speed bump when she sees him helping a drunken young woman go into a motel -- and comes to the wrong conclusion. The conclusions get even worse when she sees a hickey on his neck, not knowing that a grieving, half-asleep male friend gave it to him.
Godai's life doesn't get much better when Grandma Godai comes for an indefinite period of time, and starts meddling in his love life, getting the dog drunk, and going to a disco. Overwhelmed and depressed, he goes on a trip elsewhere and encounters a chatterbox hiker, then falls into a well with Kyoko during a festival. And in the "Lost Episode: Yusaku's Island," everyone is stranded on a deserted island, where Kyoko and Yusaku try to keep the others from partying.
The biggest problem with the sixth Maison Ikkoku volume is that it feels a little like it's in a holding pattern -- there really isn't any advancement, unless you count Kyoko biting Yusaku's shoulder. That, and the baseball and marooned-on-a-deserted-island plots are a bit overdone. However, Takahashi's deft sense of humor and strange characters keep the plot floating.
Certainly the storyline about the acid-tongued Grandma Godai is funny -- she doesn't think her wishy-washy grandson has a chance with Kyoko, but she's trying to help him anyway. A development fans will like: Yusaku and Kyoko actually go on a date, only to run into the crazies from Maison Ikkoku. And Takahashi's delicious humor (like the drunken Mrs. Ichinose jumping into the already-fully well) is what keeps the plot moving.
Yusaku hasn't changed too much, but in this storyline his ego takes some blows when he sees Mitaka's luxurious condo, and hears constant derision of his hopes to win Kyoko. And Kyoko's muddled feelings get even more complex. And Grandma Godai is a fun character of Yoda-like stature, still possessing plenty of vitality (even if she keeps talking about dying).
The sixth volume of Maison Ikkoku doesn't really move the plot forward, but it's still a fun, romantic, cute story-line. A recommended read.
Sweater of Jealousy.......2001-11-12
Takahashi-sensei I love you!! Takahashi-sensei in my humble opinion is one of the greatest manga writers/artists of all time. I know this isn't revolutionary information for the millions who have read her books, but wow! what stories she creates from such simple Ideas. In this volume we finally meet the ever elusive Mr. Ichinose, and let me say he might match his wife physically, but he is much more like our favorite wishy washy student than Godai would like him to be. The main attraction of this particular graphic novel is Kyoko's jealousy. Oh it has made itself evident in several earlier novels, but in this one it really boils over. It begins when Godai's platonic girlfriend Kozue knits Godai a sweater. Godai brings it home and Kyoko almost explodes with jealousy. Godai finally confronts Kyoko and demands that she tell him how she really feels about him, but before any answer can be had. Kyoko almost falls off of the roof of Maison Ikkoku, Godai saves her, but winds up breaking his own leg. This leads to Kyoko and Godai getting closer to each other in the hospital, but the goon squad keep anything from formulating. Also, we get to meet Godai's couin Akira!! Good stuff.
Continuing a Great Series!.......2000-03-04
This is a GREAT graphic novel! It managed to almost make mecry the first time through, but there was also a good lot of humor init. Even if you haven't read the others before it, the book would still make sense, but familiarity with the series helps, because this book is all about its characters. And what characters! This book really cliches their personalities well! Rumiko Takahashi is great as always, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes humor, drama, graphic novels, or just good books in general!

Book Description
This practical book, now in it's fourth printing, is a perfect introduction to a profound understanding about people, relationships, and service. Kausen's light and pragmatic style makes easy reading without losing the deep impact. It is filled with delightful and amusing vignettes that demonstrate the direct connection between state of mind, our moment-to-moment experience, and our capacities to sustain fulfilling personal and professional relationships.
The medium for discussion is working with people in the sales and service sector ( but the message is much broader. The fifteen chapters covering different types of "difficult" people will benefit anyone in any type of relationship. So successful is this book at communicating the basics about "what makes people tick" that it is used as a textbook in universities.

A surreal satire.......2000-12-08
In "Bedside Manners," Luisa Valenzuela tells the story of a woman who returns home to an unnamed Latin American country after having lived away. The protagonist's visit to a country club soon becomes a surreal comedy in which sex, politics, militarism, and economics are all mocked and deconstructed.
Along the way, Valenzuela satirizes the U.S. military presence in Latin America, the use of television as a narcotic, and other aspects of 20th century culture. A bizarre cast of characters--the imperious maid Maria, a megalomaniacal military commander, and more--enact scenes that are often funny, often disturbing. And throughout the unsettling refrain is repeated: "Don't think. . . . Thinking's bad for you."
Luisa Valenzuela just might leave you thinking. This is an important work by a major writer of Argentina.
Bedside Manners - Another Scathing Novel By Luisa Valenzuela.......2000-07-07
Luisa Valenzuela penetrates censorship once again with her unnerving novel Bedside Manners.
Author of The Lizards Tail, Symmetries and Clara, and described by Julio Cortazar as "the heiress of Latin American Fiction", Valenzuela never fails to provide the goods. This time she brings us a Kafka-esque tale which delves in to the psychology of the Argentine Dirty War.
The protagonist, a thinly disguised Luisa Valenzuela, goes to an Argentine country club to escape the stresses of life. Not only does she fail in her endeavor to block out reality, particularly the stark political reality of her native Argentina, but she achieves quite the opposite. Far from being a safe haven, the hotel room becomes a stage on which the country's troubles are played out.
Neurotic military generals, terrified soldiers and an inflation obsessed maid, form the cast of a surreal black comedy in which the line between spectator and protagonist is blurred.
This promises to disquieten even the most devout Valenzuela reader and is a must for everyone interested in Latin American politics.
Book Description
Bedside Manners is required reading for ER devotees, who will find a wealth of information here-from an inside look at ER and its creator, Michael Crichton, to a viewer's companion featuring detailed reviews of each and every episode of the show and a guide to its cast and characters. There's also a complete Internet guide to Clooney and ER, the "authoritative" ER Drinking Game, and a section of "Clooneyisms"-unusual quotes and bizarre anecdotes from Clooney and the characters he's portrayed. Keenleyside includes something for everyone in this funny, fact-filled, and indispensable book.

Horrible.......2001-11-08
This book is very bad! I don't like to normally be so grim, but I will make an exception for this book.
Oh boy!.......2000-01-25
This book is a true ER and George Clooney masterpiece. The book ties in a biography of ER's greatest star and the show its self. I enjoyed this book from the begining to the end. This book is equiped with every thing a true ER fan could ask for. This is a no brainer. If you don't like this book, you don't like ER.
A GREAT book about Mr. Clooney!.......1999-11-16
This is a great book that should be owned by anybody who is a fan of George, Nick, or Rosemary Clooney. There are some great pictures in it, and a Commic-strip about ER.
This was a great book!.......1999-06-26
This book was great. George Clooney is absolutly great in every way. Read this book if you like George. Its worth the money.
This book is a waste of time........1999-02-12
This is a terrible book. The writter fills up space with drivel gained through People magazine articles and Hard Copy television shows. The book breathlessly meanders through George Clooneys life leaving the reader to think; "so what". The book is further padded with listings of web sites that have at least some connection with Clooney and synopisis' of "ER" shows. Not only did I waste my money buying this book, I wonder if I can sue the writter for the time I wasted reading this poor effort of a book.
