On the Ragged Edge of Medicine: Doctoring Among the Dispossessed by Patricia Kullberg, published by OSU Press. This powerful collection of 15 patient vignettes was written by a doctor who worked on the urban front line, with the homeless and city poor.

Now a college botany major, Jeremy is desperately looking for a way to listen to the plants and stave off their extinction." Wow. How's that for creative?
