The Hippocratic oath is sacred. Until it’s not. Human foibles and frailties can quickly grow and make the Doctor into a romantic hero, or a despised villain, or hopeless professional in the face of what is around him.In this volume our protagonists are the people we look to for help and certainty when we are in distress and pain. Our authors place these characters in stories that are as relevant to our thoughts today as when they were first published. 1 - Stories with The Doctor as Protaganist - An Introduction2 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson3 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson4 - La Grande Breteche by Honore de Balzac5 - A Country Doctor by Franz Kafka6 - Doctor Heidegger's Experiment by Nathaniel Hawthorne7 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev8 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey9 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov10 - Green Tea - Part 1 by Sheridan Le Fanu11 - Green Tea - Part 2 by Sheridan Le Fanu12 - The Atheist's Mass by Honore de Balzac
