Reflections on Pediatric Medicine from 1943 to 2010 - One Man's Odyssey Through the Golden Years of Medicine-A True Dual Love Story (Hardcover)

Come take a stroll down the memory lane of medical history. "Reflections on Pediatric Medicine from 1943 to 2010" recounts the struggles of a dedicated pediatrician as he attempts to strike a balance between a normal family life and the demands of the rapidly evolving world of modern medicine. Through vividly drawn stories compiled from a career that spans more than half a century, author Byron Oberst takes readers on an amazing journey from the early years of medicine, when there were few specific therapies with which to treat patients, to the wonders of today. From the eradication of the scourge of polio to the miracle of antibiotics to the era of organ transplantation and body imaging, Oberst offers a rare chance to experience medical progress and discovery as it happens. Written in eight parts, each spanning a unique decade, "Reflections on Pediatric Medicine from 1943 to 2010" is an unforgettable trip down memory lane-with many interesting side excursions.
