A Fortunate Man by John Berger

[摘要] So starts a book about a country doctor written 37 years ago by John Berger, with photos by Jean Mohr, about the doctor and his patients in the Forest of Dean. A Fortunate Man, intimately depicts his relationships with individuals and the community in which he lives and works. Berger describes these complex relationships without sentimentality, linking them to ideas about doctoring, suffering, time, and what it is to be human. I remember reading the book as a medical student and thinking: this is why I wanted to become a doctor.
