BIOGRAPHY
Three Generations of Physicians Represent Challenges and Changes in American Medicine
“His inspiring journey captures the essence of what healing
must in some shape or form always preserve.”
—Bill Frist, MD, Former Majority Leader US Senate
Dallas, Texas - Dr. Mayo’s Boy: A Century of American Medicine is the compelling true story of three generations of physicians - their commit-ments, challenges, and sacrifices over the last hundred years. Through poignant narratives, Rob Tenery, MD draws upon his own real life experiences, eloquently conveying what it meant to be a doctor then, and what it means now.
Taking a clear-eyed look at lessons learned from the past, Dr. Tenery connects them to the present chronicling changes in the practice of medicine over the past century. He points out that the practice of medicine is not simply passing out prescriptions and setting fractures, but about the doctor/patient relationship. It is about taking on the responsibility of understanding a patient’s needs, and realizing the physician may be his or her only remaining hope when all other hope is gone.
With the emergence of managed health care and mounting regulations pushing doctors away from the bedside, Dr. Mayo’s Boy reminds us of a once time-honored tradition when there was a personal relationship between doctor and patient. Dr. Tenery’s inspiring journey emphasizes that a physician’s compassion, conviction, and commitment to his patients is just as important as medical training. This book is about reaching out because that is what doctors do. Not necessarily conquering every disease, but always being there for those who need them.
