Beschreibung:

A busy doctor juggles an errant teenage daughter and a seriously ill father. An elderly immigrant sacrifices his demented wife''s well-being to satisfy his son''s authority. A trainee becomes delirious with lack of sleep but must learn how to act, and not react, in the face of suffering. A psychiatrist who advocates for the underserved may herself be crazy.

Together these deeply humane linked stories - at once funny and honest, incisive and compassionate - explore the impact of illness on real people''s lives and offer a portrait of health and medicine like nothing we have read before.

Set in hospitals, offices, nursing homes, prisons, family apartments and out and about in the cityA History of the Present Illness creates a world pulsating with life and introduces a striking new literary voice.
