Like all doctors, Sherwin Nuland collects stories, and over thirty
years in the practice of surgery, he has collected a consider number
of both his own stories as well as the stories of surgeons he has
worked with and admires. The remarkable stories told in this book are
filled with the lessons of humanity. They describe that sacrosanct
connection between two people we call the doctor-patient
relationship, and that othe relationship between the mentor and
student, so important to the perpetuation of medical knowledge,
judgement, wisdom and character. Doctors have peculiar ways of
approaching certain kinds of problems, and many of those ways are
captured with with grace and elequence in The Soul of Medicine.
