Through A Doctor's Eyes:

About the Book

In this book, I describe the types of cases and the problems that typically confront a family practice physician, and I discuss the many unusual experiences and challenges in dealing with my patients during my 30 year tenure. I explain the extreme importance of the physician's role, especially in a rural community, and I reveal some of my innermost secrets and confessions that I held for many years, regardless of how gross or gruesome they may seem. My book presents a highly-opinionated version with substantive documentation as to how and why our medical system is in dire need of revamping. And I inform the general public of the tremendous waste and ineffectiveness of our government when it comes to medication and controls. I explain as to why insurance coverage such as Obamacare is truly needed, along with detailing my general dissatisfaction and conflicts with the Food and Drug Administration and various other governmental agencies.

In my second book, I continue with a witty and colorful satire in my customary erratic pattern, while exploiting the many improprieties and disparities that exist in our health care system today, including insurance irregularities and treatment discrimination, along with detailing the diagnostic injustices that doctors tend to practice.
