Not all of us are saints : a doctor's journey with the poor

Leaving his middle-class practice and taking his family to an inner-city neighborhood in Washington, D.C., a doctor explores the disturbing difference between the medical worlds of poverty and privilege, and experiences the pain of his own limitations. "A powerful report of the experiences of a physician living and practicing medicine in the inner city ... A deeply disturbing picture of the degradation of ghetto life and a painfully honest account of one man's attempt to do something about it." - Kirkus Reviews The story of what it means for a middle-class white male physician to confront the health problems of ravaged ghetto communities __Not All of Us Are Saints: A Doctor's Journey with the Poor__ is a book by David Hilfiker, M.D.
