Discover the lessons of a life lived in service with this memoir, Medicine and Me.
Written by Richard C. Reynolds, MD, this fascinating collection chronicles the life of an extraordinary eighty-four-year-old doctor, beginning with his humble upbringing by parents who never completed high school.
Nevertheless, Reynolds went on to launch a long and storied career that has seen triumphs and troubles, successes and failures, and some of the most breathtaking advances in medicine over the past half century.
Through it all, Reynolds weaves in the heartwarming love story between himself and a nurse—who became his wife.
Richard C. Reynolds, MD, graduated from John Hopkins School of Medicine and completed a residency in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has held academic appointments at the University of Florida, the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and served as executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
After decades of working as a doctor, Reynolds still believes that medicine is the “best game in town.”
