From the Inside Flap:

Is it possible to write a memoir of your life's mistakes and feel good about it? Well, yes and no! As Dr. Robert Green recounts his years in the medical care and treatment of countless patients, he describes to us those times there was an error in his judgment in diagnosis and treatment; and the importance of the lessons learned when something went differently than he expected. Contained in these stories are the lives of people that became frozen in his mind. Bob takes us on a journey of his medical career introducing us to the patients' lives he became a part of and the relationships he forged that made them memorable.
