Reviews

"The relationship between doctor and patient is hard enough to parse when both are in the same room. ...And of the gallons of ink spilled over the centuries in attempts at clarification, few efforts in recent memory lay out the frustrations and confusions and crystalline moments of grace better than Dr. Jason Karlawish's marvelous new book "Open Wound"."
--Abigail Zuger, M.D./i>

--Abigail Zuger, M.D."New York Times" (11/29/2011)

."..an excellent work of fiction with the power to illuminate difficult ethical issues."

"In this historical novel, [Beaumont and St. Martin] become entwined in each other's lives medically, financially and even legally. Karlawish sketches their fraught relationship in the ensuing decades artfully, with clear relevance to the ethical questions of modern medicine."
