A very compelling memoir by a wise, curious, insightful physician. He candidly shares his life"s story and describes many very touching and, at times, incredibly humorous events. This should be required reading for all medical students and those involved in the field of health care. Edward J. O"Connell, MD Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, Allergy/Immunology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Emeritus Editor in Chief of Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
