Here's a Doctor who can write. Ray West, a self-confessed
"understudy of the Great healer, Jesus Christ" chronicles in
CONFESSIONS Incidents from three or more decades of medical
practice. In a chatty style reminiscent of James Herriot's
vignettes based on his veterinary practice, West introduces graphic
events revealing the underside as well as the drama of interacting
with patients, their family members and colleagues. Edna Maye
Loveless, Esteemed Author and Educator Dr. Raymond West, a master
storyteller and model of the ideal Family Physician (as well as
teacher and researcher of Epidemiology) describes highlights of his
career applying the basic principles of both science and art of
medical practice. Examples of encounters from his years of
successful caring for the emotional and spiritual as well as
physical needs of patients, demonstrate for the reader, memorable
examples of principles applicable to real life. Whether you are a
medical care provider or a patient, you will love the stories and
benefit from the inspiration of a Christ centered approach to the
practice of medicine. Edwin H. Krick, MD, MPH., Associate professor
of Medicine, Loma Linda University Doctor Raymond West's
'Confessions' is interesting in showing a Christian Doctor's life
and temptations. He was one of returning sailors from WW2 who was
given the opportunity, by a grateful government, to a medical
profession previously limited mainly to the wealthy. This "GI
surge" was responsibly, in great part, to a rapid technological
progress in medicine. Dr. West's book reveals how this new
technology has become a substitute for detailed questioning and
manual examination of patients He shows how a careful examination
plus a knowledge of historical medicine is useful in diagnosis. His
lifelong keeping of a detailed diary of interesting cases makes Dr.
West and this book remarkable. I recommend it highly. Bernarr
Johnson, MD, FACS
