With intelligence and humor, Andrew Bomback shows how human beings cope with issues of power and vulnerability. Doctor is an insightful read for anyone who's been on either end of the stethoscope. * Amy Fusselman, author of Idiophone (2018) and The Pharmacist's Mate (2001) * A disarming, candid, precise meditation on the inescapable role that 'complication' or 'luck'-otherwise known as 'fate'-plays in the life of any doctor or patient or, indeed, any human. * David Shields, author of The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead (2008) *

Sweetly composed ... As much a tribute to the legacy of his pediatrician father as it is an examination of the healing arts ... Bomback covers a lot of territory in this small volume ... It's a quick and understandable read that offers doorways to many other avenues worthy of deeper exploration. * PopMatters * With intelligence and humor, Andrew Bomback shows how human beings cope with issues of power and vulnerability.
