IN MEDICINE
William T. Close has lived a life in medicine. His unique and exciting odyssey took him from an emergency room near some of New York City's most dangerous neighborhoods to an extraordinary practice in the heart of Africa, and then to a rural practice in the wide open spaces of Wyoming.
At the start he was a gung-ho surgeon. "If it moves, Close will cut it," they used to say of him. But through his experiences with the sick and the wounded, he began to learn the importance of treating people with care and compassion. He learned to listen to his patients and to understand that their needs were sometimes deeper than what even the most modern medical practice could cure. Through much hardship in the depths of the city, through war and disease in Africa, and through the challenges faced by a country doctor who is the only hope for his far-flung patients, Dr. Close learned to be a healer.
A DOCTOR'S STORY is an intense and compelling drama that captures all the fear
