A Surgeon's Archive: Meetings with Foreign Colleagues

The book by Fyodor Uglov “The Surgeon’s Daily Life,” published in the USSR under the title “A Man Among People is Not Only a Medical Detective Story, Not Only an Accurate Reconstruction of Life and Everyday Life of the Soviet Era, but Above All—an Invaluable Testimony of the Courage, Selflessness, and Kindness of a Doctor.” The main characters of Fyodor Grigorievich’s book are his patients. Every line makes you feel how important each human life is to him—how stubbornly, sometimes almost without hope for success, he fights death and defeats it. Once you start listening to this incredible novel, completely based on real events, it’s impossible to stop.
