"This book should be required reading for every person who aspires to be a physician--it makes me proud that I am a doctor." -- Ferrol Sams

In this text, the author, a cardiologist and poet, examines the relationship between the physical heart and the metaphorical heart of literature. He looks at the emotions felt by doctors and by those who seek their help.
