books about: physicians     books:       All Things Wise and Wonderful20 reviews James Herriot St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998 Definitely a classic The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we knew he would as the second book ended. I'll also mention that he and Helen have a baby, which you probably expected. One of the ...             Mom's Marijuana: Insights About Living23 reviews Dan Shapiro Harmony, 2000 A life-changing experience. You might think that the title of my review refers to this man's life changing experience, but in fact I'm speaking of the life changing experience that has been reading this book. Dan Shapiro truly is a brilliant man and he wrote a complex, insightful book. I think the title is misleading, but the story more than makes up for it. It's almost as if the book is interactive; it makes you think back ...             The New York law of medical malpractice, 1974-to date22 reviews Norman Bard Weinstein, Chayt & Bard, 1987 Recommended by Newfoundlanders On a visit to Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, this book's title always surfaced when I quizzed locals on cultural and historical points. It was about a 12-hour read, and I found it very easy to justify putting distractions aside to read this involving book. I felt that having two separate accounts of events, each through the eyes of two of the book's characters, really added to the depth of ...             Mountain Rescue Doctor: Wilderness Medicine in the Extremes of Nature20 reviews Christopher Van Tilburg St. Martin's Press, 2007 Kept my interest cover to cover Imagine sticking a breathing tube down someone's throat. And imagine having to do that without accidentally inserting the tube into the person's esophogus or breaking the patient's teeth. Then imagine doing this while kneeling on sharp rocks while perched on a narrow ledge, as a hovering rescue helicopter sprays you and your patient with dirt and debris. That's what Dr. Christopher Van Tillburg ...             Vivid27 reviews Beverly Jenkins iUniverse, 2001 Pleasssed I've purchased several books by Beverly Jenkins from Amazon.com and I've enjoyed them all. I've been pleased with the book's apperance but I've loved the contents 100% and wished and hoped that you had everything she's ever written available. The reason why I started logging on to the website was with the hope of finding her books and I have; and I've enjoyed them; and I've read some more than ...             Halfway Home : My Life 'til Now26 reviews Ronan Tynan Scribner, 2002 A Must Read...Motivational and Inspirational Firstly this review is not intended in any way to be objective. I love the man who is Ronan Tynan, I love his voice and all that he has contributed to the world. Halfway Home is the story of a man who is passionate, driven, inspired and someone who refuses to beaten down in any way. He is a Maverick, who in this side-splittingly funny book, outlines just some of the things that he has done in his ...             The Reverse of the Medal24 reviews Patrick O'Brian Thorndike Press, 2002 The turning point where a good series becomes great The twelve books that precede The Reverse of the Medal in the Aubrey-Maturin series together form a coherent, engaging chronicle of naval warfare, intrigue, and romance. Had its thirteenth installment been simply more of the same, the appeal might have begun to pale; however, with a single plot twist, Patrick O'Brian changes the rules of the game completely, handing Aubrey and Maturin a whole new ...             The Letter of Marque (Vol. Book 12) (Aubrey/Maturin Novels)24 reviews Patrick O'Brian W. W. Norton & Company, 1990 Best Read in a while Continuity & action from page one & I would recomend this book to the movie fraturnity as it's better than Master & Commander in my view.             The story of San Michele, (A Dutton, Everyman paperback)22 reviews Axel Martin Fredrik Munthe E.P. Dutton, 1957 A Book to Cherish How can one write a review of The Story of San Michele that comes close to doing justice to the book? There are many humorous episodes, such as The Giant and Mamsell Agata, touches of the macabre in the description of the cholera epidemic in Naples, misadventures, like the journey to Sweden accompanying a young man (then his corpse). There are also angry moments, as when his dog Tom is brutally ...             Day Is Ending: A Doctor's Love Shattered by Alzheimer's Disease26 reviews Richard W., M.D. Zalar, Walter G.
