About the Book:
| Fondly, Carolyn: Letters to a Young Physician was inspired by a partially fictional young physician, “W”. Each letter encourages the reader to “take time” for a different aspect of healthy practice; time to comfort, to relax with family, to volunteer, to notice beauty, and to advocate. After appearing in Mecklenburg Medicine, a reedited version was published in the North Carolina Medical Board’s journal Forum and on its website: www.ncmedboard.org.
