In this book, I describe the types of cases and the problems that typically confront a family practice physician. I discuss the many unusual experiences and challenges in dealing with my patients during my 14 year tenure as coroner of a mid-sized Louisiana parish and my 30 years as a general practitioner. I explain the extreme importance of the physician's role, especially in a rural community, and reveal some of my innermost secrets and confessions that were held inside me for many years, regardless of how gross or gruesome they may seem to others. This is a makeover of a previous publication, "Through A Doctor's Eyes: Our Problematic System", containing more amazing facts and depressing details regarding our injustice-ladened system. If you already know that our system is defective, believe me, it's even worse than you think. I present a highly-opinionated version with substantive documentation relating how and why our medical system is in dire need of revamping. I also inform the general public of the tremendous waste and ineffectiveness of our government when it comes to medications and controls, along with detailing my general dissatisfaction and conflicts with the Food and Drug Administration and various other governmental agencies. I continue my witty and colorful satire in my customary erratic pattern, while exploiting the many improprieties and disparities that exist in our health care system today, including insurance irregularities and discriminatory treatment, along with detailing deceptive practices of doctors today. Because we live in a polluted world, I relate the many dangers that surround us from unhealthy eating to infectious diseases to toxic substances, and what it takes to reduce our risks. If you are a premedical student or contemplating the medical field, this is a must-read. To explain what my book is about in slang, I "attack" my associates, criticize our drug stores, tear down our deplorable hospital system, relate our less than desirable efforts to fight diseases, complain about our needless hunger problem, discredit our drug industry, tell about our pitiful advertisements, and expose our government's failure in all aspects of life. The reason for doing all of these things is simple: To inform everyone about our problematic world and disgraceful justice system today, and, hopefully, begin leading the fight to revamp everything in toto. We live in a dangerous world progressively getting worse. Regarding my educational background and experience, I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Zoology from Southeastern Louisiana College in Hammond, Louisiana, and a medical degree from Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans, accomplishing the latter in three short years; completed a rotating "O" internship at Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge; worked in numerous emergency rooms all over the State of Louisiana; held many professional jobs, including the public health clinic, local mental health center, and substance-abuse clinic; was awarded several state contracts; served as medical director of both the parish and Hammond City jails; practiced family medicine for 30 years; and held the position of coroner for 14 years at a mid-sized rural Louisiana parish, performing over 1,500 autopsies. Surprisingly, the basic principles regulating the practice of medicine has changed very little over the years, and our defective system remains extremely problematic. "The same problems still exist."
