Book excerpt: These essays about various unrelated medical history subjects were composed over some three decades; some written recently, others published in my previous books. The title word "meandering" suggests randomness, but should not be mistaken for pointlessness for each vignette was prompted by something which at the time seemed relevant to my professional or personal life. The emphasis is on narrative history, stories of physicians at different times and places, for as my famous namesake Professor Allan Nevins once wrote, "history should be enjoyed, not endured."
