Morphine by Bulgakov

Show Notes: This week, Matt and Cameron explore the effects of addiction with Bulgakov’s “Morphine,” wherein a doctor begins to treat a minor malady with an ultimately fatal cure.

I promise - it’s a lot more interesting than it sounds. Major themes: Anna Karenina?, Medical Terminology, Story Forms 36:35 - Here’s the article I referenced!
