"The relationship between doctor and patient is hard enough to
parse when both are in the same room. ...And of the gallons of ink
spilled over the centuries in attempts at clarification, few
efforts in recent memory lay out the frustrations and confusions
and crystalline moments of grace better than Dr. Jason Karlawish's
marvelous new book "Open Wound"."
