Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When a middle-aged family doctor tapers off his Bipolar medication, he transforms into a Versace-clad karaoke legend, navigating chaotic manic episodes while trying to heal his patients, his family, and ultimately, himself.Meet Derek Randy, doctor by day, glittery menace by night, who discovers that nothing says "sound medical judgment" quite like chasing the spotlight at 1 a.m. in a noisy LA bar, while answering to the stage name: Dr. Love. One power ballad turns into another and suddenly the man who is used to writing scripts is addicted to applause, Versace, and the dangerously seductive belief that he was born to headline.Enter Selena, the angel behind the bar with a smile sharp enough to make a grown man cry and a presence that makes Derek wonder if she will become his queen. As Dr. Love rises, Derek falls into obsession, into trouble, and, against all common sense, into love.Wry, raw, and laugh-out-loud in all the wrong moments, Dr. Love: Memoir of a Bipolar Doctor is a backstage pass to mania, music, and the messy business of being human, with a microphone in one hand and a heart worth resuscitating in the other.Brave, confronting, and impossible to look away, Dr. Love is for readers drawn to raw memoirs, complicated narrators, and stories that go where polite conversation won't.Note: This memoir contains mature themes, explicit content, and raw discussions of mental health crises that may be distressing for some readers.
