Consisting of 12 interwoven stories, Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures follows the lives of four young medical students and physicians -- Ming, Fitz, Sri, and Chen. Brought lovingly to life, these characters show the reader the realities of the medical world with sometimes startling results. The stories explore the characters and their relationships with their patients and with each other. "Take All of Murphy" looks at an autopsy in a new and thought-provoking way; "A Long Migration" examines modern medicine versus traditional medicine; and "Code Clock" details one character's self-doubt. It is guaranteed that the reader will never think of a doctor in the same way once they've experienced this book.
