Abstract:
Anecdotes. The traditional physician’s case report is nowadays considered to be little more than “anecdotal” by some. Yet anecdotes are full of surprises. They can solve mysteries of the psyche, or they can raise questions that can haunt a physician for years in a quest for answers. This book is about broadening perspectives. It is not a substitute for thoughtful, customized medical attention. Still, although the names have been changed, these short stories about actual persons will be of interest to both the layman and the professional.
