True stories.

Abstract

Four stories, all true, all upsetting, all with lessons for the discerning doctor. In this series, life won 3-1. But none of us are immortal, no matter what an over confident American group who call themselves 'The Immortals' I saw on television the other day has to say. Lest we forget--families, friends, patients and what we do to them, stress and risk factors--the potpourri of our medical lives.
