Notes of a Doctor

Vereysaev's literary debut. An autobiographical book that first came to light in 1901 – and immediately brought the young author wide fame. The first steps of the freshly minted healer, starting his path in the medical field. Successes and failures.... The agonizing fear of making a mistake that could doom an innocent patient. Stresses. Despair. Pride in achievements. Dangerous and morally questionable, yet necessary experiments on people, in search of new treatment methods. Sensation and scandal – the emergence of female doctors. The eternal plight of Russia – the passion for self-medication and "treatment," as it would be said now, "alternative" methods. What is this life of a young, novice doctor? A feat – or a martyr's cross? Vereysaev repeatedly asks himself this question – and cannot find an answer to it.
