Über diesen Titel
Winner of the 2006 Scotiabank Giller Prize
An astonishing literary debut centered around four students as they apply to medical school, qualify as doctors, and face the realities of working in medicine, from a powerful voice in fiction.
Following the interlinked stories of a group of medical students and the unique challenges they face, from the med school to the intense world of emergency rooms, evac missions, and terrifying new viruses. Riveting, convincing, and precise, Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures looks with rigorous honesty at the lives of doctors and their patients, bringing us to a deeper understanding of the challenges and temptations that surge around us all.
In this masterful collection, Vincent Lam weaves together black humor, investigations of both common and extraordinary moral dilemmas, and a sometimes shockingly realistic portrait of today’s medical profession.

Kritikerstimmen
2006, Scotiabank Giller Prize, Winner
Amazon editor's pick, Best Books of 2006
A Toronto Star Best Book of 2006
"[A] compelling first book of fiction.... It adds up to a running start at a high-voltage literary career." (Toronto Star)
"Lam excels at this kind of steady accumulation of truths, a tangling of action and incident that renders judgement of the characters difficult, and futile besides. The writing is often lovely...[and] some of the best stories in Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures read like journalistic dispatches from the medical front lines, with careful psychological characterizations added. As such, Lam's book represents a promising demonstration of fiction's unique power to bring the news that stays news, in Ezra Pound's formulation, and to allow the reader to see through the eyes of those who experience events firsthand." (New York Times Book Review)
