Synopsis
Dr. Tim Hennessy has skillfully drawn on his life experiences to put together Recalled to Health, which is both a memoir of his path to becoming a doctor and a useful medical guide to achieving and keeping good health.

By providing a medical foundation that will lead to a better understanding of medical topics, Recalled to Health can empower its readers to take charge of their own health.
