 Welcome to the White Coat Wisdom Website
It's not just a book. It's an experience.

                                                                                                                

 

"White Coat Wisdom is a good read for anyone."
C. Everett Koop, MD, U.S. Surgeon General, 1981-1989

Nine hundred years of combined medical experience, explained in compelling, real-life stories--That's White Coat Wisdom. Health reform ideas are presented from medical experts with the experience to know what is needed to keep people healthy. Take two minutes and click the YouTube video above and you'll get a feel for what the book is about. TV shows like ER have nothing on the real deal! White Coat Wisdom is a 590-page hardcover oral history of extraordinary physicians, which is endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, MD and by many reviewers, including the Mayo Clinic Proceedings (Five Stars),  the Midwest Book Review (Five Stars), WTDY's Petie Rudy and WTUX's Carol Koby.

It makes for a classy gift for anybody interested in healthcare, given the gold foil on the spine, specially-designed color end sheets and artist-drawn sketches of every physician featured, in addition to other illustrations throughout the text. Check out the table of contents to get more specifics about who's in the book and what areas of medicine he or she focuses on. Several chaptes deal with health reform and why it's necessary. But the discussion is anything but boring, as the doctors discuss real-life experiences as justification for their point of view.

The book lays out medical experience from several dozen doctors, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of remarkable physicians and what they've learned. White Coat Wisdom is the perfect gift! What could be better than knowledge that can improve one's life and health? The author, Steve Busalacchi, offers KEYNOTE SPEAKING for conferences and other events that provide inspirational and practical answers to many of the challenges facing healthcare today. He is a medical speaker you will not forget.

Why Read it? Minimize

Top Five Reasons to Read White Coat Wisdom

You’ll be:

5. Entertained (Family/sports medicine physician)

“I was doing a rectal exam on this guy, and I’m apologizing because it’s kind of an embarrassing thing. He goes, ‘It’s okay doc, as long as I only feel one hand on my shoulder, no problem.’”

4. Motivated (Chiropractor who longed for medical school)

“I got 21 letters of rejection and one acceptance at St. George’s (Caribbean). At 38-years-old, I gave up everything I had worked for, for a pair of t-shirts and shorts.”

3. Astounded (Psychiatrist, consultant for movie Rain Man)

“He’s memorized 9,000 books and can pull those back, page by page. He says that he reads one page with one eye and one page with the other.”

 2. Savvier (Internal medicine, men’s health specialist)

 “Guys die five years younger than women. A lot of that is because of bad health behaviors. We should do anything we can to get guys to come in for medical visits at a rate that approximates women’s.”

1. Inspired (Internist, Free Clinic Director)

“Last year we saw 1,930 patients. The volume has increased by about 25% a year over the last several years. It’s nice to say your numbers are going up, but not at the free clinic.”
