Items related to The Doctor Stories
Not only for students and doctors, this volume contains Williams's thirteen "doctor stories," several of his most famous poems on medical matters, and "The Practice" from The Autobiography.
These writings, together with Dr. Robert Coles's enthusiastic appraisal of teaching Williams and Dr. William Eric Williams's personal and touching filial account, "My Father, the Doctor," make up an intriguing and timely study of the poet as a physician of rare humanity and self-knowledge. As Coles suggests, Dr. Williams's writing can help many others take a knowing look at the medical profession."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Review:
Stories written with the swift, concise, unsentimental exactitude of a great diagnostician who also happened to be a great poet. (The Book List, Philip Gourevitch)
