- Synopsis
- When Scannel found herself assigned to a county hospital AIDS ward, she realized that much of the medicine she had studied was irrelevant. She chronicles the intimacy of her relationships with her patients, and discovers the inadequacy of the "good" doctor who battles illness to keep patients alive regardless of their suffering. She writes not only as a physician but as a woman who entered medical school never having seen a woman doctor.
