A new edition of one of the best books ever written about being a doctor: writing as aware and memorable as Chekhovs. The Doctor Stories collects thirteen of Williamss stories (direct accounts of his experiences as a doctor), six related poems, and a chapter from his autobiography that connects the world of medicine and writing, as well as a new preface by Atul Gawande, an introduction by Robert Coles (who put the book together), and a final note by Williamss son (also a doctor), about his famous father. The writings are remarkably direct and freshly true. As Atul Gawande notes, Reading these tales,you find yourself in a conversation with Williams about who people really arewho you really are. Williams recognized that, caring for the people of his city, he had a frontrow seat to the human condition. His writing makes us see it and hear it and grapple with it in all its complexities. That is his lasting gift.
