Summary:

"Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures welcomes listeners into a world where the most mundane events can quickly become life or death. By following four young medical students and physicians – Ming, Fitz, Sri and Chen – this debut collection from 2006 Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Vincent Lam is a riveting, eye-opening account of what it means to be a doctor. Deftly navigating his way through twelve interwoven short stories, the author explores the characters’ relationships with each other, their patients, and their careers. Lam draws on his own experience as an emergency room physician, and shares an insider’s perspective on the fears, frustrations, and responsibilities linked with one of society’s most highly regarded occupations." -- Provided by the Publisher.
