On Life's Road

This collection of sixteen works of nonfiction and one short story reflects experiences of a family physician over a fifty-year career, extending from medical school and internship through community practice to academia and into retirement. The compositions explore a spectrum of medical issues involving the care of patients, ethics, life and death decisions, mistakes, the training of doctors, the limitations of medicine, public heath controversies, and healthcare policy. Dr. Blake acknowledges mistakes and lessons painfully learned and addresses the personal social and psychological effects of his experiences. Four selections situate him in the social fabric of his family to expand the breadth and depth of his journey. While the book should appeal to a wide audience, it is particularly relevant to healthcare professionals, students, and trainees, and indeed anyone aspiring to a career in healthcare.
