This is the latest volume in the acclaimed series that depicts medicine as depicted in art throughout history.

Thematic chapters cover the examination of patients and their maladies healing and medical treatments and the sufferings and hopes of patients awaiting cure and recovery. Psychological anguish, represented by Masaccio's "The Expulsion of Adam and Eve", and Munch's "The Scream", are also treated along with more obvious physical manifestations.
