Many times a doctor, upon reflection, will realize that he has learned more from the strengths and qualities of his patients than the time he has spent rendering their care. These fourteen stories are intended for doctors and their patients. They reflect the enduring nature of the doctor/patient relationship.

Praise for Postscripts

“Dr. Fisher captures the essence of primary patient care through these remarkable stories. He writes of the privileged role he played in the lives of his patients from his time in Harlem, on the Navajo Indian Reservation, and in private practice. This book should be required reading for medical students early in their career.”
—Anne Moore, MD, Professor of Clinical Medicine and Attending Physician, Weil Cornell Medical Center and New York Presbyterian Hospital

“This engaging book leads the reader into a series of metaphorical stories that show the joy of working in a primary care field. These vignettes show how much a doctor learns from and treasures the relationships that often develop between a doctor and his patients, more probable in primary care than in any other type of medical practice.”
—Allen Steere, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital

“Dr. Fisher writes clinical parables with skill, humanity, and profound thought. These stories are told by a master physician with warmth, humor, and special wonder. They testify to the sacred privilege of connecting to serve others.”
-Guy Reed, MD, Dean, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Phoenix

“Through these sensitive, poignant, and often humorous tales, Dr. Fisher shares the joys and invaluable lessons he has learned in over forty years as a primary care physician. Future doctors as well as anyone curious about the special nature of the doctor-patient relationship will appreciate the endless rewards of a career so intimately devoted to caring for others. Beautifully written and enriched with the charming illustrations by Tim Janicki, this gem of a book will enlighten and delight a wide audience of readers.”
—Sally G. McMillen, PhD., Professor of History Emeritus, Davidson College

“The nineteen delightful inked images rendered for this special book by Tim Janicki capture our imagination as we travel though the chapters. The drawings, so skillfully done, help us to reflect on the lessons we learn from each patient encountered by Dr. Fisher.”
—Diane Freeman, Gallery Director, WHAM! Art Association
