Why read it?
1 author picked Internal Medicine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This haunting collection of stories had me on the edge of my seat as I read. I both recognized the territory and was engrossed by Holt’s approach as he turned on his head the commonly-held wisdom of power and control in the doctor-patient relationship.

From Jacinta's list on doctors that show their professional struggles.
