The Doctor Stories

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful
Review: I was enthralled by his words. They flowed and moved with each character.....and the story he unfolded. Wonderfully smooth like silk. And thoughtful, like a brief snag in your emotions. I could not put this book down.

Summary: Interesting book, but not all "doctor" stories
Review: When I bought this book I was expecting stories of a primarily doctor's point of view. Though all of the stories, detail various medical conditions, they are not always from the perspective of the doctor. This is also a mostly fictional work. (I'm sure if I read the back cover I would have found that out). However, it is not dissappointing. It is interesting how the author has woven a story very detatched from a medical format around a specific condition in each case. I found it very interesting and plan to buy more of this author's books. Some of the stories have a melancholy side that I'm sure effects the medical community as a whole in hopeless cases or ones where the patient does not seek care beyond diagnosis. It was a good read none the less.
