Product Description
DOCTOR WITNESSES HIS WIFE LOSE HER BATTLE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS. There wasn't anything that Dr. Norman Makous could do---neither his medical training nor his colleagues could help save his wife from emphysema. All he could do was sit by her bedside in her final hours. Dr. Makous is a cardiologist who is highly respected in the Philadelphia medical community, witnessed his wife endure an 11-year battle with chronic illnesses. However, this wasn't the only challenge he had to face in his life. In his new memoir, "The Road Taken: My Life and Times," Dr. Makous narrates a dramatic journey through the Great Depression, World War II and his medical career during the middle of the 20th Century. His story is an incredible historical account journal of medicine's greatest transitional period, including pre-war and post-war technology and treatments. Dr. Makous saw many heroic and horrific medical feats during his years of practice, and he learned something from each one of them---particularly what not to do. As he sat at his wife's bedside, they asked each other if they would have done anything differently in their lives. "Sometimes when you look back, you can't help but ask the question. What if?" said Dr. Makous. "In the end, though, I know I loved my wife, I love my children and I love helping people." After reading this story, you will come to one conclusion---Norman not only earned our respect, but his place in American history.
