Many doctors have also been celebrated writers, from Anton Chekhov, Arthur Conan Doyle, and William Carlos Williams to Perri Klass, Atul Gawande, and Maxim Osipov. The reading public (including other doctors) eagerly devours what doctors write, not least in hopes of glimpsing what makes physicians tick, as persons, as healers. But why do doctors write? In this Medical Center Hour, three of UVA's own accomplished physician writers respond, in their own inimitable words.
