You Cared for Me

About the Book

Physician assistant students write about some of their first clinical encounters with real patients. But there's a twist-these stories are written from the perspective of the patients!

An elderly farmer, a single teen who is pregnant, a motherless child, a World War II veteran, a newborn baby-these are just a few of the many people who touch and teach physician assistant students early in their clinical experience. Read the stories of sorrow, joy, surprise, patience, uncertainty and hope in the lives of patients and caregivers alike.
