Opis

In a stirring collection of essays, author Nancy Bolger brings the reader on a path through the extraordinary life of Robert J. Joynt, MD, PhD, one of the most influential neurologists of the last half century. The path begins on the hot summer sidewalks of a small town in Iowa and winds through military experience, medical school studies, down the wedding aisle, and onto a long and successful career at the University of Rochester, where Dr. Joynt became the first chair of the newly created Department of Neurology in 1966. We travel to India, Canada, London and Cambridge in England, a lakeside community in Minnesota, . . . and Le Mars, Iowa. These pages tell the story not only of Dr. Joynt's life but of those who inspired and motivated him, and how he in turn became a remarkable inspiration to others. Nancy Wharton Bolger is a contributing writer and editor for the University of Rochester Medical Center. In 1992 she received the Robert G. Fenley Award of Distinction for Medical Science Writing from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
