Medicine Looks at the Humanities

By David J. Newell and Ira W. Gabrielson

This unique collection of writings by physicians and other health care providers looks at various topics in the arts and humanities, showing a side of the medical profession rarely seen. In this reversal of the usual practice of humanists looking at medicine, the writers here discuss such areas as 'The Physician as Creative Reader, ' 'Religion in the Life of the Physician, ' 'The Surgeon as Sculptor, ' 'The Physician in the Arms Race, ' among others.
