　　An erudite history of medicine...a welcome addition to any

medical collection. -- Booklist

How does medical science advance? Popular historians would have us

believe that a few heroic individuals, possessing superhuman

talents, lead an unselfish quest to better the human condition. But

as renowned Yale surgeon and medical historian Sherwin B. Nuland

shows in this brilliant collection of linked life portraits, the

theory bears little resemblance to the truth.

Through the centuries, the men and women Who have shaped the

world of medicine have been not only very human people but also

very much the products of their own times and places. Presenting

compelling studies of great medical innovators and pioneers,

Doctors gives us the extraordinary story of the development of

modern medicine -- told through the lives of the

physician-scientists whose deeds and determination paved the way.

Ranging from the legendary Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, to

Andreas Vesalius, whose Renaissance masterwork on anatomy offered

invaluable new insight into the human body, to Helen Taussig,

founder of pediatric cardiology and co-inventor of the original

"blue baby" operation, here is a volume filled with the spirit of

ideas and the thrill of discovery. Says The New York Times,

"Doctors can be warmly recommended. Dr. Nuland succeeds in bringing

his subjects vividly to life, and he leaves you with a much better

understanding of what they achieved."

"Eloquent, informed, deeply committed." -- Los Angeles Times
