Produktbeschreibung

Denton A. Cooley, MD

"This book provides insight into a family tradition in medical service during the last century with three generations of physicians. It reveals the effect of the family doctor on the welfare of the family through personal contact. The many narratives the author describes show that the life of the physician differs from other professions and that the dedication to patients has priority over the demands or needs of his own family. But the ultimate rewards of his experiences go beyond economic measures and provide satisfaction not received in any other profession."

Kenneth H. Cooper, MD, MPH, Founder of the Cooper Aerobics Center, Dallas, Texas

"Rob Tenery has once again shown us as physicians that our patients are 'equally as concerned about how much we care as they are about how much we know,' and how this has not dramatically changed over the past one hundred years."

Bill Frist, MD, Former Majority Leader, US Senate

"Tumultuous times with mounting pressures and demands within health care delivery drive us to our roots, and no one better reminds us of our roots to heal, through the time-honored and precious relationship between doctor and patient, than Dr. Tenery. As the doctor-son of a physician who practiced family medicine for ¿fty-¿ve years and the brother to two doctors, I believe Dr. Tenery's inspiring journey captures the essence of what healing must in some shape or form always preserve."

Dean Ornish, MD, Founder and President of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco

"Dr. Mayo's Boy is an extraordinary book. By telling a spellbinding story of three generations of physicians, Rob Tenery traces the evolution of health care in this country and shows how much medicine has gained-and lost-in the past hundred years. In a highly entertaining and eloquent way, Dr. Tenery makes a plea for medicine to return to its roots as a healing profession rather than as a business. Highly recommended!"

Autorenporträt

Rob Tenery, M.D. is an ophthalmologist, who first began his writing career when he authored commentaries dealing with current events impacting the world of health care. His expertise acquired from representing medical organizations on a local, state and national level led him to become a monthly contributor to the nationally distributed periodical, American Medical News, from 1990-1998. It was toward the end of his tenure that he decided to pen a more comprehensive look at the evolution of his chosen profession with the publication of his first book, Dr. Mayo's Boy. He then followed up with his second and third books, In Search of Medicine's Moral Compass and Bedside Manners. Both chronicle the delivery of health care in this country from its inception, and the increasingly complex evolution of those who deliver care as they act as advocates for their patients. Marrying his high school sweetheart, Janet, was the impetus for his fourth book, Chasing the Ponytail - a coming-of-age love story set in the 1950s. Having a keen interest in the uncertainty on the world stage, Rob has written his latest novel, Insurrection at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, that combines his experience in medicine with political intrigue. Rob and Janet have two children and four grandchildren. Rob continues to practice his chosen profession, while authoring a weekly posting for his website, Diagnosis for Democracy: Insights into the State of Our Union, and is working on his next novel.
