Sinopsis

Sophie Moen suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis and was in a wheelchair for ten years. Desperately seeking a solution, she called upon Dr. Ernie Pellegrino, who suggested joint replacement. After several surgeries, Sophie was able to walk again. This is just one of the medical success stories that author Ernie Pellegrino experienced in more than three decades of medical service.

Narrated in a memoir format, A Doctor’s Path includes emotionally touching examples of the selfless dedication a number of physicians demonstrate to patients. It marvels at patients who have endured incredible disabilities and their willingness to take the risks needed to improve their lives.

Not all medical stories, however, have happy endings. Pellegrino gives rare insight into the people and events in his profession. His frank approach exposes some of the shameful individuals and activities that take place in patient care. He’s not afraid to confront those he believes have violated the Hippocratic Oath-to practice medicine to the best of their ability and do no harm.

Providing fourteen lessons, A Doctor’s Path helps us understand the limitations of doctors and the medical practice, and demonstrates the will of doctors to nurture and serve humanity.
