Power Westbow Press Power to the Bone

It takes truth to realize we never arrive. It takes courage to allow life to be the classroom, the perfecting journey, and the joy it is designed to be. Medicine in general, but surgery in particular, always comprises the intersection of the heart and the hands as who we are not only fills what we do, but also how we do. Power to the Bone may sound like a textbook, but it reads like a life book and a hope manual as it outlines that whether an Orthopaedic surgeon or a powerful English instructor, we are never higher or more impactful than the moral principles that lead us. Wisdom is always the principal thing and the leader in the room. The book specifically dissents the qualitative distance often presupposed in the medical profession. Declarations like: "Treat patients who trust you; avoid those who worship you" champion the purpose of this book to help make a doctor's impact "comprehensible and tangible but also human and relational." Dr. Vestinia Bridges makes Power to the Bone a generational gift as it embraces key foundational themes that define life's trajectory and power: humility, virtue, hope, empathy, compassion, kindness, mercy, belief, creativity, faith, and love. The engaging strength that Dr. Bridges accomplishes in Power to the Bone is its distinction for life application that extends to every profession, any age, all levels of expertise, and all culture. The focus distinct from the technical elements of Orthopaedic Surgery makes one wonder if Part Two is coming.
