At the heart of healing : Groote Schuur Hospital,… by Anne Digby

A surprisingly interesting example of administrative history, despite its character as a 70th anniversary brag book. This has strong themes that reflect Cape Town, SA, GSH and health care history often in a controversial manner - open wounds are probed and salted. The photographs are extraordinary - both in the book and on the cover.
