The best of the "Doctor reminisces" books.
"Frontier Doctor" edges out Arthur Hertzler's "Horse and Buggy Doctor" and "The Life of Chevalier Jackson" as the most interesting of the physician autobiographies that were so popular about 75 years ago. In the thirties, doctors who'd lived through a revolution in medical care, found that readers and publishers were interested in the doctors' personal accounts of how medical practice had changed since the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Many wrote their stories. Later a few stragglers added their accounts and still later the university presses published more. "Frontier Doctor" is the best of the genre because of Urling Coe's writing skill. He has a knack for describing people and telling about events that makes his book most readable, interesting, and memorable. It's been more than a decade since I've read the book but I still remember so many episodes vividly. The story of Bend's fishing for the 1905 Fourth of July celebration, many buggy trips to isolated patients, and those people and their medical problems make up one enthralling story about life in the (not so) good old days in Bend, Oregon a century ago.

Great book
Dr brooksby has opened an avenue for people who have downplayed the role of osteopathic physicians to see that DO's are an essential member of the medical community.I couldn't put this book down.Not only is it an easyread but an interesting one.He surrounds technical terminology with somany stories from his personal experience, I almost forgot I was reading adoctors book.A defenite MUST READ. ...

Bone Biology
This book is an encyclopedic and thorough survery of normal bone, bone biology, formation, and remodeling.Clincial aspects of bone are also covered in great detail.For a volume this size with multiple authors, thebook maintains a uniformly high standard.The illustrations are excellentand color plates are used where necessary.While one plate in Chapter 17was to go in Chapter 18, it is a minor point.The chapters on the hormonalcontrol of bone remodelling and the discussion of the process ofremodelling were particularly interesting and well done.For graduatestudents or physicians interested in bone biology, the volume is a must! ...
