"This is a brilliant book. You have to stop and think about what he wrote and say, "it couldn't be that beautiful." A treatise on the patient-doctor relationship, as well as the experience of being ill. He integrates ideas from so many sources and comes up with new insights. Not sentimental at all and full of passion and humor."
