Doctors Mayo

The Doctors Mayo is a classic, one of the finest biographies ever written. It tells the story of the "old doctor" William Worrall Mayo, his sons "Dr. Will" and "Dr. Charlie," and the world-famous Mayo Clinic which they built at Rochester, Minnesota. Besides being a fascinating biography, the book is a significant volume in the history of medicine. The Journal of the American Medical Association commented: "Almost amazing is the manner in which the author has traced surgical progress as a portion of the lives of the Mayos and made it understandable.
