From the Bedside to the HMO

This is the story of how a young high school student, through a quirk of fate, begins walking down a path that leads him to become a rural family doctor in Montana.

Having served a close-knit community for fifty years Dr. Robert Whiting recounts a story of a diphtheria outbreak, some interesting cancer outcomes, and several cases requiring difficult decision making.

In this personal account, you'll learn what the medical textbooks can't teach you:

How changes in medicine have directly affected practitioners
The bond a small-town doctor forges with his community
Creative ways to dealing with ailments
The effects of malpractice charges on the profession
And much more!

You'll also follow Dr. Whiting-a sportsman, musician, and a husband-outside the profession. Somehow, he manages all those roles as he successfully carries out his practice.
