From Publishers Weekly

To tell the story of medicine since Hippocrates and Galen, Nuland focuses on the personalities and careers of medical innovators since the 16th century who epitomized the scientific climate and culture of their period. PW called this an "enthusiatic and anecdote-rich narrative."

From Library Journal

An historical outline develops as Nuland (Yale School of Medicine) examines the biographies of significant doctors engaged in the art and science of medicine. He considers philosophical and ethical issues fundamental to medicine's evolution, from antecedents of the Hippocratic oath to transplant technology. More than a biographical historiography, his book reaffirms the art of doctor-patient reltionships, while underscoring technical advances in science. Sir William Osler's observation that history is the "silent influence of character on character" best summarizes the essence of this outstanding book. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries. Mary Hemmings, McGill Univ. Medical Lib., Montreal
