In the Country of Hearts - Journeys in the Art of Medicine

"As he explicates and celebrates the possibilities of modern medicine, Dr. Stone remains firmly attached to the humanness of its endeavors....[He] has used his senses well." --New York Times

"This book should be required reading for every person who aspires to be a physician--it makes me proud that I am a doctor." -- Ferrol Sams
In this text, the author, a cardiologist and poet, examines the relationship between the physical heart and the metaphorical heart of literature. He looks at the emotions felt by doctors and by those who seek their help.
