To understand the human meaning of illness, we therefore must turn to the stories we tell about illness, suffering, and medical care. Stories of Sickness explores the many dimensions of what illness means to the sufferers and to those around them, drawing on depictions of illness in great works of lite ..."

"There is a famous advertisement in many tennis magazines that points out that
the ball never touches that very expensive, hightech tennis racket. The ball only
touches the strings. That is why this book will start by discussing the strings. 1.1
Strings and Stringing What tension should you string your racket at? Should it be
50 pounds? Or 55? Or 62? Or 73? How can you determine what tension is
optimum for a racket, a style of play, ..."

"whose chair, Ian McWhinney, is one of the most philosophically well-read leaders
of academic family medicine. McWhinney had for a long time been interested in
the initial, “real” reasons patients came to see the doctor, as distinct from the
diagnoses made by the physician at the conclusion of the encounter. Among the

keep down food or medicine.1 The L ..."
