Page ii Medical Humanities Series Glen W. Davidson, Editor EDITORIAL BOARD George J. Agich Elizabeth Dawson-Saunders Richard Dayringer Theodore R. LeBlang EDITORIAL ASSOCIATE Linda Keldermans ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT M. Lynn Cleverdon The Medical Humanities Series is devoted to publication of original or out-of-print materials relating to perceptions the humanities bring to clinical practice and health care. In this way the series also serves to promote communication among clinicians, humanists, and the general public. Several titles in the series have been commissioned for areas in which little material is available. The following disciplines are represented in the series: anthropology, decision making in medicine, history, jurisprudence, literature, philosophy, religious studies, rhetoric, and visual arts. Unsolicited manuscripts will be considered. The series is a project of the Department of Medical Humanities at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield.

Page vii What Zimmer Would Be When asked, I used to say, "I want to be a doctor." Which is the same thing As a child saying, "I want to be a priest," Or "I want to be a magician," Which is the laying on Of hands, the vibrations, The rabbit in the hat, Or the body in the cup, The curing of the sick And the raising of the dead. "Fix and fix, you're all better," I would say To the neighborhood wounded As we fought the world war Through the vacant lots of Ohio. "Fix and fix, you're all better," And they would rise To fight again. But then I saw my aunt die slowly of cancer And a man struck down by a car. All along I had really Wanted to be a poet, Which is, you see, almost The same thing as saying, "I want to be a doctor," "I want to be a priest," Or "I want to be a magician." All along, without realizing it, I had wanted to be a poet. Paul Zimmer, Family Reunion
