Tactile Fremitus


Please say
ninety-nine.
No not like
that, say it
in a deep
voice, like
mine, as I
place the heels
of my hands
against your chest
wall. It’s for
the best. That’s
better. Can you
feel that
resonance?
These low
vibrations like
humming strings
holding us
together.

Prints, Pages, and Pagers

Prints, Pages, and Pagers aims to look closely at the lives of medical students and doctors, real or fiction, whose lives and experiences are told in novels, short stories, poetry, or any kind of writing. These book reviews are an opportunity for medical students to learn from the many fascinating stories produced by the field of medicine, and maybe to read something other than a textbook.
