First Do No Harm

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Desmond Allen draws upon his rich background to tell of the ethical struggles two physicians face in their lifelong quests to fulfill their dreams. This fast paced story of misguided goals, failure and forgiveness will warm your heart. It will make you laugh and cry and it will leave you bewildered - perplexed by, or at least alerted to, the very real dangers lurking behind the white coats and the practice of medicine in America. About the Author The author of numerous publications and the recipient of two literary awards, Desmond Allen is a perpetual student, holding a PhD in education, a PhD in health administration, a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, an MBA and two seminary degrees, a MDiv and a ThM. Even more important for this story is his eclectic background with three decades of valuable, practical experience in medicine, business and ministry upon which he draws to tell this most compelling story.

Synopsis:

In this alarming and moving account of the ethical struggles of two physicians, Daniel Watson is a humanitarian idealist troubled by modern medicine's unrealistic fascination with synthetic drugs, while his close friend, Marian Richards, is haunted by her ambition.
