Thirty-eight exciting stories, which would be enough for several seasons of the popular TV show about the everyday life of doctors. Thirty-eight episodes from life, where each character and each situation is as unique and difficult as it is close to us all. Operating rooms, morgues, crime scenes, Khrushchev kitchens, the seashore, the front line or a windowsill with a view of a spring thunderstorm - some are familiar, some are not so familiar locations, where the author takes us. Against the background of real human dramas, grief, hopelessness and medical verdicts, the life-affirming confession of one surgeon, full of love for people and his work and delicately flavored with lyrics and a healthy sense of humor, appears very clearly.
