A doctor looks at every patient from the perspective of his medical problem. A family physician looks not only at the medical problem on hand, but also at the pulls and pushes, which tear apart the human spirit. Doctors and Devils offers the unique family-physician's perspective on life. It is captured in both short stories and poems that bring a humane touch to some of the medical illnesses spoken about in this novel. None of these stories are factual, but many have realistic qualities based on years of medical experience.
