About this product
Product Information
If you're looking for a book fluctuating from the mundane to the serious, from the frivolous to the tragic, as told by an American doctor serving in a "bush" hospital in Tanzania, this one is for you. Medical situations are depicted, but it's much more than medical. It deals candidly with the cultural observations and experiences of the author in his beloved Third World hospital, village, and country. You'll find the chapters vary from interesting, amazing, humorous, to sometimes hardly believable. The contrast with your First World is stark at times - not better or worse, right or wrong, just different. Laugh and cry with Dr. Black and his wife as you vicariously join them on their journey of service in Tanzania. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Black is a retired Emergency Medicine doctor living in Indianapolis. Educated at Lipscomb and Vanderbilt Universities, he completed an Internal Medicine Residency at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. After service in the Navy, he and his wife and their three children returned to Indianapolis. His career choice was the new specialty of Emergency Medicine. In this connection Dr. Black initiated and served as Director of the Emergency Medicine Residency at Methodist Hospital. During this time his and Lou Ann's interest turned to medical mission service in developing nations where the need was so great. Also he could better combine medical practice with his Christianity. Subsequently, they served on short-term trips and then for five years at Chimala Mission Hospital in Tanzania. Following these years he served as Executive Director of International Health Care Foundation of Searcy, Arkansas. He concluded his medical career in Emergency Medicine while continuing to serve on short-term medical mission trips. He has continued writing, speaking, and serving in leadership positions in his church and nationally in Medical Missions.
