"With thoughtful, lyrical, and sensitively crafted prose, Dr. Newman guides us around the globe and into his experiences as a physician who puts himself in harm's way for the sake of others." - Alison Wearing, author of Moments of Glad Grace

"A remarkable book about a heroic doctor who puts his love of humanity at the core. Courageous, committed, and brilliant, an inspirational story for anyone who wants to know how to do their part to make the world better, one life at a time." - Rosalie Abella, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada

"This masterful collection of stories brings us into the life of a dedicated, humane physician, who brings his skills to parts of the world where people are deprived of basic medical care." - Michael Gordon, Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto, author of Looking Through the Lens: Reflections on Medicine, Ethics and Society

"With precise observational detail you feel like you are with Dr. Newman as he traverses the border fence in the Golan Heights, or goes to Joseph's village in Uganda." - Robert Orr, MD, author of Life and Death Decisions and Professor of Medical Ethics, Loma Linda University

"Dr. Newman's remarkable career spans continents and cultures, and his stories remind us that medicine is never only about science - it's about humanity, humour, and the extraordinary lives we meet along the way." - Laurie Gough, author of Island of the Human Heart: A Woman's Travel Odyssey

PETER NEWMAN is an award-winning physician and writer, well known for his humanitarian work. His compassionate stories from his work around the globe give us a window into the privileged, and intimate, world of the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Newman has practiced comprehensive, cradle-to-the-grave medicine, and worked from Canada to the Caribbean and the Golan Heights, and from the Arctic to Africa, in peacetime and war. He has also been sought after as an expert to assess other doctors' standards of care. He shows us a doctor who truly listens, and who treats the whole person, in an era where technology often crowds out the human side of medicine. He lives in Toronto, ON.
