Assume the positioning: Memoirs of any Obstetrician Gynecologist will place the listener in the shoes of any obstetrician and gynecologist with years of clinical experience and training. It will place the listener in the same stirrups as patients in my office, hearing the trials, tribulations, joys, and fears expressed to me. All women wonder what other women experience when they see their ob-gyn physicians. All men wonder what their girlfriends or wives will be subjected to when exposed before their "gynos". The stresses and strains of a busy professional life with an obstetrician gynecologist are revealed in intimate, true detail. The storyplot begins after early retirement from one of the busiest group practices in Phoenix, Arizona, and a move to the beautiful high alpine ski town of Telluride, Colorado, after an ultimatum from my wife. From there the story continues to the depths of Africa to explore women's healthcare in a tiny country with some of the worst obstetrical and neonatal outcomes on the planet. Timely subject areas subsequently discussed include office life, operating room experiences, the medical malpractice crisis, abortion, the family life of any obstetrician, labor and delivery, nightlife, the business enterprise of medicine, Obamacare, managed care, and life after private practice. Each chapter is punctuated with true, unfiltered vignettes, laughable, joyful, fearful, and tearful, that can only just be found in the life of any ob-gyn physician as he goes throughout his day. I am an actively licensed, American Board-certified obstetrician gynecologist. A graduate of Princeton University, I had been trained at two of the top medical institutions in Philadelphia, and we picked up our East Coast roots and moved to begin anew in the desert of Arizona. After 21 many years of private practice, involved with all areas of practice management and women's healthcare and research, I chose to leave everything behind and begin a second career.
