Merging art and religion with science, these largely autobiographical essays delve deeply into the emotional territory of medicine commonly avoided by other writers. This collection utilizes the physical body as a means to explore the human mind and soul. Never hesitant to admit his own frailties, the author draws on his experiences as a surgeon with integrity and wit, allowing readers a first-hand glimpse into the medical world.
