A compelling vintage medical-themed lot featuring: Doctor Purgatory (1959 First Edition, Citadel Press) — a brutally honest account of a physician battling drug addiction — paired with Nursing Stories (1979 hardcover anthology) featuring works from notable authors including Ernest Hemingway and P.D. James. This lot captures both the clinical and human sides of medicine, making it ideal for collectors, medical professionals, or readers interested in addiction narratives and healthcare history. Doctor Purgatory retains its original dust jacket with visible wear consistent with age. Nursing Stories is in solid vintage condition with clean interior pages and strong binding. A unique and thought-provoking pairing.
