Signed by author on title page.Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other By confronting pain, real and imagined, her own and others', Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel.
