Title: Hemingway s Military Surgeons
Author/Creator: George Monteiro
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.39(2), pp.52-62
Annotation: This essay explores Hemingway s interest in doctors and surgeons. It argues that Hemingway s experiences with surgeons after he was wounded in World War I shaped his subsequent portrayal of surgeons in his literature. He gauged their competency through ease of manner, humor, and a willingness to drink. This essay also contends that the type of surgeon Hemingway admired entered popular culture and can be seen in figures like Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H.
