White Coat Wisdom, Stephen J. Busalacchi, Apollo's Voice - Busalacchi has compiled oral histories from a wide variety of Wisconsin physicians. The author tells us in his introduction that he is an admirer of the work of Studs Terkel. Even had he not so informed us, isn't it the case that all works of this kind are compared to that of the late Studs, and most found wanting?

Busalacchi makes a solid, workmanlike effort to walk in the steps of his role model, and he succeeds more often than not. He has mastered the ability to allow his subjects the floor, and the practice of medicine from the view of the dear and glorious physician is expressed with all the triumphs and tragedies that are part of that world.

White Coat Wisdom gets a mention in Melanie Conklin's Sunday, August 12, 2007 Wisconsin State Journal column. It's just below the Elvis Presley piece and sports a headline that has absolutely nothing to do with the book!

------------
"STEVE BUSALACCHI, former director of public relations at the Wisconsin Medical Society, has written the book "White Coat Wisdom," which archives doctors' first-person accounts of their experiences. The release date is set for later this year. See the book's Web site: http://www.whitecoatwisdom.com."
