From one of America's most renowned and beloved doctors, and best-selling winner of the National Book Award, comes a remarkable book that brings together the stories of doctors collected over 30 years. Each of these tales, filled with grace and wisdom, explores the mysteries and conundrums of modern medicine. Enhanced by Sherwin Nuland's keen insight into the special relationship between doctor and patient, these engrossing stories illustrate the judgment, wisdom, and character of veteran doctors who have mastered the art of care-giving. Taken together, the lessons learned from The Soul of Medicine are as moving and profound as they are timeless.
“A beautiful book.” —Oliver Sacks
“Nuland is a gifted storyteller, bringing his doctors...brilliantly to life.” —John Irving

“‘The Soul of Medicine’ works well on multiple levels: as a collection of fascinating exotica; as a primer on the anatomy and physiology of both the normal and the diseased body; as an application of the history of medicine to modern-day practice; as an exploration of the best, and sometimes the worst, deeds of physicians and surgeons in the last half-century; and as a chronicle of the healing arts.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Sherwin Nuland is a hero of mine. A stark and dramatic medical storyteller, possessed of a fierce moral sense, he is among the writers I most aspire to emulate.” —Atul Gawande, M.D., author of Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
“The Soul of Medicine has given me (as it will countless others) enormous pleasure... All the pieces are gems, and so deeply felt, and their selection and conviction bring a remarkable unity to the book... A beautiful book.” —Oliver Sacks, bestselling author of Musicophilia
“What is extraordinary about Nuland’s compilation is not the medical heroics but the instances of fallibility and vulnerability that prove the doctor is not just human but caring.” —Publishers Weekly
“Here’s medicine as it’s actually practiced—by humans awed by the privilege of both their practice and patients.” —Publishers Weekly
“...offer[s] insights into how physicians think, how medicine has changed, and medical and ethical dilemmas.” —Library Journal
“...the tales indeed resemble Chaucer’s—some humorous, others poignant, and where they are cryptic, accompanied by a note from the more-than-skillful narrator.” —Booklist
