Join me on a 60-year adventure from medical school to re-retirement. There will be many funny stories and some sad ones that influenced my approach to treating patients, and I will give you a glimpse of the grueling life of a medical student, an intern, and an orthopedic resident in the 1960s plus my Navy career, how I established my private practice, and my contributions to orthopedic surgery. Also, I express my feelings about how medicine has changed from then to now and why.
I don't think there is comparable work on the market, and your trip with me will be well worth the read.
Dr. Neviaser is a retired orthopedic surgeon and author of many medical articles, papers, presentations, and contributions to medical texts. He's written extensively on shoulder conditions, his specialty. He is available as a speaker on most orthopedic conditions. His dynamic presentations involve a great deal of audience participation and personalized attention to attendees. Now retired, he has traded his scalpel for a word processor. His newest book, BONES & ME, is now available on Amazon. This work is about his journey from medical school to retirement mixed with interesting and sometimes hilarious stories plus his thoughts about the changes, good and bad, in medicine over the last 50 years. As he says, “None of my patients really knew the guy in the white jacket, scrubs or a mask while they expressed their innermost feelings and life stories to me, so I thought I would give them a glimpse of what I went through to get where I am today." Dr. Neviaser is proud of his orthopedic guide book for the lay person, THE WAY I SEE IT: A Head-to-Toe Guide Guide To Common Orthopaedic Conditions and his first novel, YOU DEAR SWEET MAN seen below. His second novel, THE MYSTERY OF FLIGHT 2222, is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well as Goodreads.com.
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
