The Collected Stories from a Doctor's Notebook

By Siegfried Kra

The Collected Stories from a Doctor's Notebook brings together the best writing of Dr. Siegfried Kra, who has published 13 books with W.W. Norton, Warner Books and McGraw Hill, among others. Like the famous Russian literary physician Chekhov, Kra uses storytelling to connect medicine with the human condition, resulting in tales of love and loss, triumph and disillusionment. From post-war France and Switzerland to a modern private cardiology practice and the teaching hospitals at Yale , Kra diagnoses rare diseases, falls in love, and even survives a plane crash on a frozen lake. Few works explore the Golden Age of Medicine better than these seventeen stories, and few physicians have lived richer lives than Siegfried Kra.
