By: Author Marketing Ideas (AMI) You reason, you plead, cajole, or fly off the handle until you find a foxhole. Then the tincture of time can work its magic, and a dodgy sense of gallows humor comes in handy. Soon, your best medicine depends more on how well you can fly by the seat of your pants than on any wisdom you can muster. Amazon readers respond: “WOW, what a read, page turner from out of the gate. Missed work the next day doing an all nighter with this fascinating book, the movie cannot be far behind.” – R. Hickman “An incredible story – a must read for everyone! An eye-opener accounting of the real-life experiences from a well-recognized and highly respected medical doctor.” – Robert F. Denham “Thank you especially for the chapter on AIDS.

These medical mysteries, which read like episodes of ‘House’ without the snarky attitude, run the gamut … He also gives readers a revealing insider’s view of the culture of medicine, showing the brutal, sleep-deprived grind of a student’s internship and residency, warm mentor-student relationships, tense personality clashes between doctors, hair-raising encounters with difficult and downright delusional patients, and the multifaceted strains of underpaid, overworked academic medicine … White-knuckle medical adventures paired with revealing, expert insights.” BRIEFINGS FROM A DOCTOR’S FOXHOLE (ISBN: 978-1-47836- http://sbprabooks.com/ About the Author: M.
