| Abstract | "This book examines the phenomenon of physician-authors. Focusing on the books that contemporary doctors write "the stories that they tell" as the contributors critically engage with their work. A key reference for all students and scholars of the medical and health humanities, the book will be especially useful for those interested in the relationship between literature and practising medicine"-- Provided by publisher. |
