Summary: "Hospital Sketches" by Robert Swain Peabody is a collection of reflective essays written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the experiences and observations of the author while confined in a hospital, likely capturing the essence of hospital life during a time of significant medical advancement. The overarching topic centers around the emotional and spiritual dimensions of patient care, especially examining the interplay of pain, healing, and the environment within a hospital setting. The content of "Hospital Sketches" is primarily narrative-based, drawing upon Peabody's personal insights while he recovered at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
