Coles An Ounce of Cure: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
When James Wheatley walks into a doctor's office with a nagging pain in his little toe, he expects a quick diagnosis and a simple remedy. Instead, he is swept into a bewildering parade of specialists, tests, consultations, and conflicting opinions, each expert certain that the problem lies somewhere else entirely. In Alan Edward Nourse's sharp, darkly funny satire, modern medicine becomes a maze of jargon, vanity, and overcomplication. What begins as a minor complaint spirals into a comic indictment of a system more interested in categorizing symptoms than helping the patient in front of it. As Wheatley is passed from one clinic to another, his one small ache grows into a larger, more unsettling question: when does medical expertise become a barrier to actual care? With biting wit and an eye for absurdity, An Ounce of Cure skewers bureaucracy, specialization, and the uneasy relationship between patients and the institutions meant to heal them. Clever, fast-paced, and still sharply relevant, this is a story for anyone who has ever felt lost in the machinery of modern medicine. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
