Publisher's summary

Discover the essential people skills you didn’t learn in medical school

As a physician, you’ve devoted years of your life to training. From classrooms and textbooks to residency and beyond, you’ve honed your clinical expertise and technical abilities. But these skill sets are only half of the equation to achieving excellence. What is the other half? Emotional intelligence.

In Extraordinary Doctor, top neurosurgeon Nimesh H. Patel explores the importance of emotional intelligence in physicians and how it is pivotal to succeeding in the field. Drawing on his decades of experience along with extensive conversations with colleagues and other professionals, Dr. Patel takes you beyond medical school and into the real world of medicine—where pleasant bedside manner can only get you so far, and dynamic human connections are critical in every situation.

By focusing on communication skills, self-awareness, and empathy, Dr. Patel brings an understanding to the fundamental skills every doctor needs to build relationships, earn trust, and connect positively with patients, families, coworkers, and administration. With his incisive insights, Dr. Patel will convince you why your people skills need to be as scalpel-sharp as your clinical ones. And when you apply his teachings, you’ll upskill from an MD to an extraordinary doctor.

Enjoyable & vulnerable stories with smart & actionable advice

Dr. Nimesh Patel provides easily understood and actionable points of advice on how to be successful and impactful as a physician (or person, patient, or parent for that matter.) The advice he gives centers around the key building blocks of emotional intelligence and feels as though a wise and measured physician is talking to his younger, eager yet naive self about things he wished he knew back then. Dr. Patel not only presents clear and useful advice, but he connects to the reader through vulnerable personal moments woven with stories from his life and his training in a way that solidifies these lessons with a mental/visual example. Through his successes, failures, misunderstandings, and keen observations, every kind of reader can learn how to be a better person and enjoy the reading journey at the same time. I highly recommend this book to all readers!
