An anthology of classic writing and short stories about doctors, patients, illness and health that illuminates the relationships between doctors and patients in the past and today, this volume features writings by world-famous authors, many of whom were also physicians, including Oliver Sacks, Anton Chekhov and Arthur Conan Doyle. As well as being of interest to general readers with an interest in health and medicine, the text may also serve as a course textbook on medical humanities and ethics for medical students.
