Book excerpt: This work is a medical and literary classic that describes the personal life and works of the five most celebrated physicians in great detail. The custom of The Gold Headed Cane originated in 1689 with John Radcliffe, who had a special interest in asthma as the personal physician to King William III. Radcliffe started the tradition of handing the cane to a successor whom he considered the most outstanding English physician. Recipients of The Gold Headed Cane were Richard Mead, Anthony Askey, William Pitcairn, and Matthew Baillie. The widow of the Baillie gave the renowned cane to the Royal College of Physicians in London, where it's still present. The Gold Headed Cane is a concept used even today to recognize a physician with the highest scientific excellence and integrity. The fact that the author presented The Gold Headed Cane as the narrator of the stories of these physicians makes this work even more exciting.
