A Country Doctor's Notebook | Mikhail Bulgakov

I don‘t read many books about medicine so I probably wouldn‘t have read A Country Doctor‘s Notebook if not for the #Booked2021 prompt a doctor or nurse main character. All the stories were interesting, especially Baptism by Rotation, and gave a glimpse into life and medicine in a snowy Russian country town in 1916-1917.

Catsandbooks @Texreader sounds like it! Interesting! 3y

mhillis @sarahbarnes I‘ve been meaning to read that for a very long time. 3y

mhillis @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft Thanks, I‘m too squeamish for this genre and had to skip over a few descriptions! 3y

readordierachel Have you watched the Netflix adaptation of this? Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Hamm are in it. It was pretty good, though I can't say how faithful it is to the source material. 3y

mhillis @readordierachel Oh I had no idea it was a series! Thanks, I‘ll check if it‘s a available here 3y

sarahbarnes It‘s one of my favorites! 3y

This is a quick read of short, related stories. Nothing compared to The Master and Margarita, but solid and interesting nonetheless. Nice perspective on practicing medicine in the boonies!

I love medical things, especially early medical things, so even though this collection of diary entries is a bit repetitive in the beginning I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Here we go! (I hated the start of the TV series, which seemed to be more of a farce... Never continued watching it. I hope the book is not like that.)

Most know Bulgakov for the Master and Margarita. This is some of his earlier writing, a series of semi autobiographical tales written about his time as a young doctor in a remote country town. An interesting picture of doubt in own abilities, many successes with patients and some failures.
