{"product_id":"2940151573016","title":"From Poor Farm Boy to Physician","description":"?t was at my fifty-year medical school reunion while sharing some of my experiences as a small-town family physician that I was encouraged to write down those true life experiences. Those true life stories were both unique and seemed to captivate my classmates. I was born in rural south Alabama before  there were hospitals for birthing. My father died when I was four days old leaving me, three older sisters and my mother without a source of income. There were no welfare checks in that time in history. Despite all the adversity having to overcome poverty, sickness and anguish, I was able to become a respected family doctor in Opp, Alabama.  I was among the last generation of family physicians who would treat the medical conditions, repair their broken bones, deliver their babies, and do most of their general surgery. I give credit to Almighty God for the opportunity to have the experiences which lead to all of the  success I had as a physician. Some interesting medical cases were included in the book as well as travel stories after retirement. The book tells how I was able to achieve the American Dream.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166021468400,"sku":"2940151573016","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151573016_p0.jpg?v=1764012377","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151573016","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
