White Coat Wisdom Book-Signing August 21
Italian Community Center, Milwaukee
Revived patients who discuss their “death” experience, a pioneering surgeon saves identical twins from across the country who would otherwise die from a rare condition, and a retired internist promotes more compassionate end-of-life care. Such topics are among those discussed by eight extraordinary Milwaukee-area physicians featured in White Coat Wisdom, a hardcover book by Milwaukee native Stephen J. Busalacchi.
Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, MD endorsed the book, as did the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, which gives it a FIVE STAR review. The Midwest Book Review says White Coat Wisdom is “packed cover to cover with what its title promotes,” also giving it FIVE STARS.
Busalacchi, and some of the Milwaukee-area doctors, will discuss the book August 21, 2008, 7:00 p.m. at the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee-area doctors featured in the 508-page oral history are: Julian De Lia, MD, Philip Dougherty, MD, John Riesch, MD, George Schneider, MD, John Whitcomb, MD, Mark Aschliman, MD, Anderson Bauer, MD and Lu Ann Moraski, DO. (Complete chapter summary is available at www.whitecoatwisdom.com)
In the oral history, medical journalist Busalacchi introduces readers to real physicians who discuss fascinating experiences that are unique to the medical profession. In doing so, readers receive practical advice for solving society’s and individuals’ intractable health problems. They also hear real world examples of how to succeed against long odds.
Stephen J. Busalacchi has more than 25 years of experience in medical journalism. He has reported for National Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Radio, and has received more than two dozen journalism awards, in addition to public relations awards.
White Coat Wisdom: Extraordinary doctors talk about what they do, how they got there and why medicine is so much more than a job by Stephen J. Busalacchi. Original edition, 6 x 9 hardcover, 608 pages, 48 illustrations. ISBN-13: 978-0-9794222-01; ISBN-10: 9794222-0-5, $34.95.

“Doctors' lives are always interesting, especially when the reader is allowed behind the curtain. White Coat Wisdom is a good read for anyone, but of course, of special interest to the growing number involved in health and medicine."—C. Everett Koop, MD, U.S. Surgeon General, 1981-1989
