Here are grimly fascinating anecdotes and reports from scenes of tragedy and disaster; remarkable first-hand accounts of medical innovation and discovery; light-hearted reflections on the quirks of doctors, patients and diseases; and profound and moving comments on human mortality.

Wodehouse to Keats, Louis Pasteur, Florence Nightingale and Mark Twain -- these pieces span the ages to prompt laughter, wonder and recognition by turns. For everyone who has ever been a patient, this intriguing and delightful collection is just what the doctor ordered.
