In Search of Medicine’s Moral Compass charts the delivery side of health care to its beginnings to the present. In an age where uncertainty rules the day, Rob Tenery, MD has given us an eBook that explains how health care has evolved into a $2.6 trillion enterprise. He does so with carefully researched histories and a series of challenging and thought-provoking commentaries on the most important issues of the day.

Dr. Mayo's Boy: A Century of American Medicine chronicles the medical experiences of a family of Texas physicians in small town Waxahachie and big city Dallas. Full of stories that are often heartening in their humanity and sometimes disturbing in what they reveal about contemporary health care, Dr. Mayo's Boy explores how physicians have viewed their commitment to their patients, how they sacrificed to meet the challenges they face and how the practice of medicine has changed over almost sixty years. While this book is by no means a policy statement, it offers a nostalgic but clear-eyed look at the past and, through its tales of three doctors' lives, asks implicit questions about how we "manage" health care today. There must remain one constant—the need for a patient to know that their doctor cares about them as an individual.
