The Uncertain Art
Thoughts on a Life in Medicine
Author:
Sherwin B. Nuland
Narrator:
Michael Prichard
Long-time physician Sherwin B. Nuland presents a provocative and stimulating collection of stories illustrating the vagaries of medical practice over the years. Among the fascinating and probing questions that Nuland investigates are: -- What does the first Hippocratic Oath really mean? -- What happens when knowledge comes before we're ready for it? -- Why does major surgery using only acupuncture work? -- Is there really sympathy between the organs of the body? -- What happens when someone yells, "Is there a doctor in the house?" and you are the doctor? -- What goes through the mind of a heart transplant candidate who doesn't make it?
