Summary of Studs Terkel's Will the Circle Be Unbroken?

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in 1931 in Watertown, South Dakota. My father was an undertaker, and I grew up with grief, though I didn’t experience it because I wasn’t part of the grieving families. I remember the enormous respect my father had for the deceased.

#2 I was programmed to be a doctor from a young age, as my father was very interested in handicapped children. I went to the Mayo Clinic for training, and after that, I worked at the Boston City Hospital.

#3 When it came to dealing with Ida’s death, I had many feelings. One was tremendous grief about her, because I had enormous respect and affection for her. Another was a sense of remorse: Did we make the wrong decisions in terms of recommending this particular course of therapy.

#4 I try to be honest with my patients, and I believe that virtually every diagnosis we deal with today holds the hope of some breakthrough in the foreseeable future. I like to bring this to my patients’ attention.
