| Sommario/riassunto: | Looking at the phenomenon of 'wounded healers': doctors who fall ill and become patients themselves, this text weaves together personal interviews with health care providers who have fallen ill, to provide a rich portrait of the psychology of doctors, the nature of human illness, and the pitfalls of our health care system. |
