Biographies

These stories from the life and medical career of a Navy SEAL turned doctor are surprising, riveting, and inspiring. A family physician delivering babies, managing disease and trauma, and dealing with death, discovers new dimensions when he goes to war in Iraq. Treating the military, civilians and their families, "Dr. Bob" experienced tremendous joy, unbearable heartache, and deep gratitude. He shares those emotional experiences in this deeply personal memoir.

If you want to be a doctor . . . If you wonder how physicians learn their craft . . . If you crave a glimpse into the rapidly changing world of medicine, then these adventures are for you.

Some make you laugh; others make you cry. All provide insight into the challenges faced by a caring family practice doctor devoted to sharing these struggles and elations as his patients fight to live well in a dangerous world. These are medical adventures you will never forget.
