["The first duty of every physician is to be humane..."].
In 1901 the Russian physician V.V. Veresajev published his book Zapiski vratsja (A doctor's notes). A Norwegian translation was out the next year. The book treats ethical problems in medicine and is critical of several aspects of medical practice. The article contains passages from the book, with comments.
