Summary note
In this book, David Biro expertly weaves together compelling stories and artwork from patients along with insights from some of our greatest thinkers, artists, and writers. Language can alleviate the loneliness of pain and improve the chances that other people - family, friends, and doctors - will empathize and respond most effectively.--[book cover]
