t was at my fifty-year medical school reunion while sharing some of my experiences as a small-town family physician that I was encouraged to write down those true life experiences. Those true life stories were both unique and seemed to captivate my classmates. I was born in rural south Alabama before there were hospitals for birthing. My father died when I was four days old leaving me, three older sisters and my mother without a source of income. There were no welfare checks in that time in history. Despite all the adversity having to overcome poverty, sickness and anguish, I was able to become a respected family doctor in Opp, Alabama. I was among the last generation of family physicians who would treat the medical conditions, repair their broken bones, deliver their babies, and do most of their general surgery. I give credit to Almighty God for the opportunity to have the experiences which lead to all of the success I had as a physician. Some interesting medical cases were included in the book as well as travel stories after retirement. The book tells how I was able to achieve the American Dream.
