He remains a nineteenth-century Russian literary giant whose prose continues to offer moral insight and to resonate with readers across the world. Chekhov experienced no conflict between art and science or art and medicine. He believed that knowledge of one complemented the other. Chekhov brought medical knowledge and sensitivity to his creative writing-he had an intimate knowledge of the world of medicine and the skills of doctoring, and he utilized this information in his approach to his characters. His sensibility as a medical insider gave special poignancy to his physician characters. The doctors in his engaging tales demonstrate a wide spectrum of behavior, personality, and character. At their best, they demonstrate courage, altruism, and tenderness, qualities that lie at the heart of good medical practice. At their worst, they display insensitivity and incompetency. The stories in Chekhov's Doctors are powerful portraits of doctors in their everyday lives, struggling with their own personal problems as well as trying to serve their patients. The fifth volume in the acclaimed Literature and Medicine Series, Chekhov's Doctors will serve as a rich text for professional health care educators as well as for general readers. 410 0$aLiterature and medicine (Kent, Ohio) ;$v5. 606 $aPhysicians$vFiction 606 $aMedical fiction 606 $aMedicine in literature 615 0$aPhysicians 615 0$aMedical fiction. 615 0$aMedicine in literature. 676 $a891.73/3 700 $aChekhov$b Anton Pavlovich$f1860-1904.$027405 701 $aCoulehan$b Jack$f1943-$01811627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962523803321 996 $aChekhov's doctors$94363625 997 $aUNINA
