Description
Island Practice: Cobblestone Rash, Underground Tom, and Other Adventures of a Nantucket Doctor
This is the true story of Dr. Timothy J. Lepore, a colourful and contrarian doctor who holds the life of the world-famous island of Nantucket in his hands. As surgeon, medical examiner, football team doctor, tick expert, unofficial psychologist, accidental homicide detective, and occasional veterinarian, Lepore is deeply involved when crisis strikes.
With a unique approach that blends unconventional methods with compassionate care, Lepore has treated an eclectic range of patients, from celebrities like Jimmy Buffett and Chris Matthews to island residents who need his expertise. From treating unusual conditions like toe-tourniquet syndrome to providing medical care in unexpected settings, Lepore's story is one of a doctor who remains essential to his community despite the increasingly money-driven nature of medicine.
