Written over twenty years, its entries range from aphorisms to anecdotes, which in their strangeness and baroque memorability, sometimes resemble Borges' tales of imaginary beings--though the "imaginary" beings here are often remarkable patients. The book moves between topics as diverse as Lao Tzu, Goya and his doctor, Rabelais and Rousseau, Plato's perfect human, the nocebo effect (dark twin of the placebo effect), aromatherapy, mosquitoes, the TV series House, Franz Rosenzweig, Vincent van Gogh's painting of an onion, Prussian ideas of "fitness", the Book of Job, depression as a media-disseminated "folk illness" of the industrialised West, the Beatles' contribution to the invention of the CT scan, The Magic Mountain, Freud's nephew and PR guru Edward Bernays, and not least the idea of professionalism, including a provocative disquisition: "What is a good doctor?".
