A Doctor Digresses ; WALKER, KENNETH : London: Jonathan Cape, 1950 First Edition. Hard Cover, no dj. Very Good book, blue cloth, internally tight and clean. The author uses his medical knowledge as a departure point for thought. He looks at man and the universe through the eyes of a doctor, and follows various lines of thought until they are lost in the misty reaction of metaphysics. Explores such subjects as health, physical and mental illnesses, consciousness and the mind-body relationship, and by this means to reach certain conclusions on a number of greater issues.
