Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

PHYSICIAN SAVES HIS OWN LIFE CRITIQUES FUTURE DIRECTION OF HEALTHCARE... Zebra: It's Not All Black and White in the Physical or Spiritual Worlds is a compelling medical mystery memoir, seen through the eyes of a successful religiously observant physician who became the patient. He was labeled as a Zebra, a fascinoma, and had to search for his own diagnosis. As he tells of his gripping journey through his life-threatening medical crisis, the author provides the reader with a long, hard look into our broken health care system. The strong undercurrents of emunah (faith and belief in a higher purpose) working hand in hand with perseverance and advocacy will resonate with all readers. Feel the anguish and emotional turmoil as Dr. Kram's chronological metamorphosis unfolds from busy gastroenterologist caring for others to stressed and sometimes overwhelmed Zebra coping with life's difficult vicissitudes. People of all faiths will find this book a source of comfort and will walk away with wise counsel in dealing with their own crises as they follow the author through his epic journey. Well written and researched, this timely book will have readers nodding their heads in agreement with many of the anecdotes along the author's roller coaster of events. As a physician, professor, congregational rabbi, former hospital CEO, and medical school Associate Dean, I strongly recommend Zebra to health care workers, patients and people of all stripes and religions.
