description: Uncharted Lines is an anthology of the best 100 poems written by doctors, nurses, and other caregivers. Some of the poetry is tender, some thought-provoking, some surprisingly candid. All of the poems relate to human interactions with health and medicine, whether celebrating the birth of a child, reflecting on the inevitability of death, or expressing helplessness in the face of pain and suffering.As the editor puts it, this book is for "anyone who needs more language than that which appears on medical charts to understand and recover from an encounter with the medical establishment".
