"DOCTOR AS WRITIER" October 24, 2000
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
After personally meeting Mr. Richard Selzer, I was compelled to read all of his writing. This book-- much like the others--displays Selzer's rich use of the English language while illustrating the deep understanding he has of the human spirit and body. Selzer's unique literature isn't only about medicine and surgery, but also life and humanity. I recommend reading any and/or all of his work.
