Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rare and remarkable collection of verse written by a 19th-century physician, Dr. William Tod Helmuth. The author has composed a series of poems mostly on medical themes, ranging from humorous to serious topics such as diagnosis, ethics, and the nature of pain and illness.

Some of these poems are widely anthologized in medical publications and are still recited and referenced at medical school events. The book contains a foreword by the author in which he writes about his love of medicine and poetry, and his belief that both are essential to a well-rounded education.
