"I'm particularly enjoying this. Because of it's nature, as a collection of smaller works, it's a great book for me to read when I need a break from my studies, and it helps to remind me about the things that made me interested in medicine in the first place: the people I'll be serving. Some of my favorite authors and poets are included."
"Inspirationals stories and poetry. Particularly inspiring for medical students, but the focus on the beauty and fragility of human life should make it of interest to any and all readers. I highly recommend it."
