Source text (please read only from this text!):This collection is a mix of poems from several authors, all of which talk about health and disease from both the patient and the doctor's perspectives. It has a unique way of shedding light on the medical field. (Summary by Maryam Arabi)

Dear Librivox team,
I would like to introduce you to our project. Students from Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar (a U.S. medical school in the Middle East) recorded high-quality spoken poetry in soundproof rooms at Northwestern University in Qatar with the support of the Qatar National Library to contribute to the Librivox project. We would really appreciate it if you could help us find a Meta-Coordinator and proof listeners.
This project is a collection of eight poems written by several poets about health and disease. The poems have all been recorded according to Librivox's standards and are currently being edited. We are familiar with the process of uploading audio files to the Magic Window.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Maryam Arabi
