The reviewed book is unusual already in appearance it is a book souvenir, or, in a more boring official name, a souvenir edition, decorated with great taste. The contents of the baby book in 7X10.8 cm format were 450 sayings and aphorisms of 140 different authors about medicine, the work of a doctor, medical duty. These sayings are selected very skillfully, with a sense of proportion and are arranged in 9 thematic sections: "Medicine. Doctor's work"; "Choice of profession. Vocation"; "How to teach medicine"; "Health. Disease"; "Diagnosis. Clinical thinking"; "Healing. Medical art"; "Medical deontology. Doctor and patient", etc.
