Summary

Medicine and the arts have in common a concern for all aspects of people's lives and this anthology celebrates the many ways in which they interact. Robin Downie has mixed together a unique concoction of poems, stories, prose extracts, music, paintings, and drawings which illustrate the concerns which artists have always had with the fundamental issues of birth, courtship, illness, aging, and death.
