Synopsis

When this eye surgeon was found to have cancer, his medical training did not protect him from the anxiety, sadness, and dread that anyone else would feel in the same situation. But once he got past the shock, he decided to look “…back over my career in medicine to discover lessons that could help me navigate my looming health crisis. To try to wring from my experiences insight into how to give myself the best chance to survive intact. I have been molded as much by my patients and teachers as by my parents and friends. What did they have to teach me?”

These accessible stories of becoming a doctor, caring for people whose sight is at risk, and then learning to be a patient himself, have valuable lessons for anyone who is, or might someday become, a patient.

"With his insightful wit and wisdom and language easy for all to understand, Michael gives us a deeply heartfelt and poignant depiction of the interconnectedness of his medical career with his personal cancer journey. He makes me laugh…he makes me cry."                                     Lorrie Klemons, RN, MSN, PatientAction.com, Patient Advocate/Coach/Educator/Speaker, Co-Author, READY…SET…ADVOCATE! Your Step by Step Guide to Patient Empowerment.

"Whether he meant to or not--and I believe the sneaky son of a gun did mean to do it--Michael Rotberg shows you simply and directly how you can live a life that is not only better, but one that has more meaning. If you don't learn from PRACTICE, it is your fault."                                        Paul B. Brown, New York Times best-selling author
