{"product_id":"the-doctor-stories","title":"The Doctor Stories","description":"A new edition of one of the best books ever written about being a doctor: writing as aware and memorable as Chekhov’s. The Doctor Stories collects thirteen of Williams’s 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 Williams’s 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 are―who you really are. Williams recognized that, caring for the people of his city, he had a front-row 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.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811228177\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0811228177.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Williams, William Carlos|Gawande, Atul|Williams, William Eric\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
