Books we wish more physician authors would write

Given an appropriate tone and style, almost any topic can make a good book. Some doctor authors jump into writing a book with mystery and suspense. One of our authors, an attorney, wrote a fascinating novel based on mysterious happenings in Hawaii. Another wrote a chilling novel about the AIDS virus. Still another wrote a true story somewhat disguised about his adventures in a big-city hospital.

Here are some other ideas to help you get started thinking...

Struggling with a health problem

Asthma, heart disease, diabetes, birth defects, sickle cell anemia and a host of rare disorders are ripe for heart-touching stories of life living with such ailments. Be sure to disguise all identifying characteristics or get the patient's wholehearted approval before revealing intimate details of such a struggle. Thousands of people are waiting for this book from you. Why? Because they are hungry for courage and an example of someone else who "made it through," even if death was the ultimate result.

Prevention

From heart disease and obesity to lung disease, you can encourage people to take steps towards healthier living with your tips and examples from your experience. Affirmation that a person can succeed in avoiding serious health problems with lifestyle changes can be pure inspiration for your readers. You can bolster the clinical facts you know with examples and experience that make the science of medical practice come to life.

Babies and kids

You'll always have an audience for your books about the birthing process, challenges of raising an infant to young adulthood, and warning signs that all may not be going well. If you're involved in OB-GYN you might put a book together recognizing the outstanding new citizens you've helped to bring into the world.

Healthcare

Yes, the public wants to hear from you about healthcare. Are you able to give the quality of care you would like to provide to your patients? Why or why not? What changes have you observed in your practice? And what changes do you see threatening on the horizon? What are the essential elements you believe must be preserved in our country's health programs? How are you adjusting to the threats and promises of the future?
