True documentary photojournalism
Ted Grant is one of Canada's premier photojournalists. He became interested in the medical world after his own surgery, and began documenting life in the medical profession.

Sir William Osler could be thought of as the philisophical founder of modern medicine, and this book is filled with quotes from Dr. Osler and others in the profession. The pictures capture, in black and white, what the ideals of the medical professions (nurses, doctors, etc.) look like in daily practice.

Superb reproduction and powerful images go together to produce a book that really captures, with insight and compassion, Osler's legacy. Mr. Grant maintains, with this work, his place at the top of the profession of photojournalism.

A must-have for doctors' coffee tables, and for anyone who loves true documentary photojournalism. Just make sure those tables are strong, this one big book!
