Reading with Claudia Hock

From the content:
"Miniatures from the hospital life and the everyday life of a Viennese dermatologist. Insights into the bodies and souls of strangers who become acquaintances over the years. A sex-obsessed firefighter, a hundred-year-old cyclist with far-reaching future plans, an empathetic newspaper vendor from India - they all have their say and share their fears and hopes with the doctor, who herself becomes a patient in the short term. Locations outside the clinic include the State Opera, the Viennese Heuriger, and places from a bygone era."
