His friend Luria, "a pioneer of newer and deeper medicine," told him: "You are discovering a whole new field.. Please publish your observations. This will do something to change the 'veterinary' approach to peripheral disorders, and to open the way for a deeper and more humane medicine."

The writer divides his story into stations, starting as an accident in which he injured his leg during a mountain climbing trip, describing his feelings and emotions: “I went through what I thought would be my last day on earth,” and then describes how to save him. “And I Became Sick” is the title of the second station, in which he describes everything he experienced during the period of illness and the work procedure. ..........
