A candid, thoughtful, and reflective memoir

The Road Taken: My Life And Times is the memoir of a highly trained medical doctor, and receiver of the distinguished achievement award from the American Heart Association. His story spans the Great Depression, World War II, and a successful career during the twentieth century; he witnessed firsthand medicine's great transformations as pre-war technology became supplanted by post-war technology. And with great pain, he also witnessed the death of his wife from emphysema, as some medical conditions remain beyond the limits of modern science to treat. A candid, thoughtful, and reflective memoir.
