Finding Meaning in Work: The Musings of a True Generalist

Abstract

In times when even places with well-established health care systems like Canada 1,2 face crisis in primary care, reading Finding Meaning in Work is a bit of a sigh of relief. Dr William J. Crump, former editor of the Kentucky Academy of Family Physicians journal, chooses to review his career through a timeline of his published articles intertwined with third-person descriptions about his life situation at that moment. The book opens in a way that could not be more appropriate for a family doctor-with brief personal comments from his family members and a touching poem dedicated to his father.
