Evet, klasiklerden..
Kitabı okurken günümüz fiziki koşulları, ulaşım imkanları ne kadar o zamana göre gelişmiş de olsa, göreve yeni başlayan bir doktorun endişelerinin, korkularının ve yaşayacağı zorlukların ne kadar benzer olabileceğini düşündürdü bana. Sağlıkta şiddete kadar, o zamandan bu zamana pek de gelişmiş değiliz. Özellikle acil serviste çalışan bir hekim için kapıdan ne gireceğini beklemek aynı his.

Never thought I’d be on the brinks of fainting while reading a short story dealing with amputation 😷. 

An overall well written collection with a very memorable and famous short story, "Morphine".

I have heard enough grotesquely detailed doctor stories for a lifetime, so this wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. However, the last two stories about drug addiction and murder were the most tame and compelling to me.

That escalated quickly.
