Preface
A
Note
from
Granta
“The Perfect Code” in a hospital is as
rare and as volatile as a perfect storm
at sea. An announcement is made over
the P.A. system, doctors and nurses
and interns scramble, a human life
hangs in the balance. This barbed and
insightful view into emergency care —
from the perspective of the doctor — is
a bittersweet paean to the delicate harmonies which can rise, if only briefly,
from the mess of hospitals and human
bodies. Terrence Holt is a writer gifted
with the lyricism of fellow medic William Carlos Williams and the pinpoint
psychological accuracy of Patricia
Highsmith. — John Freeman, Editor
