Publisher's Synopsis
"Kra uses storytelling to connect medicine with the human condition, resulting in tales of love and loss, triumph and disillusionment. From post-war France and Switzerland to a modern private cardiology practice, and the teaching hospitals at Yale, Kra diagnoses rare diseases, falls in love, and even survives a plane crash on a frozen lake. An exploration of the Golden Age of Medicine coupled with vivid moments and compelling characters. A complete story collection with twelve additional never before read stories, as well as six gathered from Nine Lives (Pleasure Boat Studio)"--
