In this "unrelenting effort to humanize the medical profession" ("Publishers Weekly"), Campo turns the doctor-patient relationship inside-out, writing not just of his attempts to heal, but of how his patients have healed "him".
The healing power of touch, of empathy and the erotic, of love itself, form the themes of Rafael Campo's humanistic work. It is an exploration of an alternative way of approaching medicine, uncovering the truths of Campo's own passions and fears, of his life as a doctor, poet, Latino and gay man within the medical establishment, and the tragic flaws in health care.
