Reviews for Swords and Saints A Doctor's Journey

"What prompted me to write this book? ""These are stories that need to be shared. I want to tell future doctors about life as a physician, and I want every patient to know about the time and effort that goes into making a doctor good at what they do. These stories should not die with me."" ""We really did do something great. I actually teared up reading the Iraq chapters. I hope your readers can truly appreciate the heart in your writing."" Serena V. - a medic ""I've really enjoyed it. I found your anecdotes fascinating - you've sure packed a lot into one lifetime!"" Tom C. a patient"
