34 patients. From infancy to old age: what dangers are waiting at each of these stages

If 34 patients who became the main characters of Tom Templeton’s book were traveling with you on the same bus or stood next to the cash desk in the supermarket, most likely, you would not even pay attention to them. For you, they would remain ordinary people, strangers, a small part of such a big world. But for Dr. Templeton, their stories became special and inspired him to write this book. In it you will find 34 stories-one of them, which he placed in a chronological order from the younger patient to the oldest. Food, a girl named Rachel, who denies her own pregnancy for nine months, Luis who suffered due to unhappy love, Mrs. Ebbot, who lived to 103 years old and other patients. You will be convinced once again that in the practice of a doctor, not all stories are stories about a happy healing, and the doctor, despite his experience, may not have an answer, why something really terrible and unfair. In his book, Dr. Templeton himself tries to figure out how, having faced the fragility and unpredictability of life, not to be taken to rejoice at her, but, on the contrary, learn to value even more.
