Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, by Vincent Lam
Just finished reading Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, a novel by Vincent Lam that just won the prestigious Giller Prize. Very interesting book - a series of short stories from the perspectives of a series of connected people in the medical profession. Each story puts forth the doctor as a person as well as a professional, and it’s easy to become engrossed in both the characters and their journies. In fact, I was counting on reading this book on the plane on the flight home, but I finished it at the hotel.
