Congratulations Rick on your new book. You are an excellent writer and excellent surgeon, and I agree with you about the social media hurdle, but I can see you are getting the hang of it. I admire your perseverance and wish you success!

I would like to order your book or books. I have a friend whose daughter is finishing her residency in plastic surgery and will be doing a 1 yr at Harvard starting in July. Would this be an appropriate gift for her? I am also interested in your story...especially since we have connected on SS . Let me know how to get a copy or is Amazon the obvious choice? 🙄 I'll check there next!

Goldilox,

This is all new to me so I may not have all the answers. I think it would be a great gift and very inexpensive! You will be able to order the paperback on May 1. The eBook is already available but I was holding off promoting it since I wanted the paperback to also be available. I am not going to be selling it directly, having to maintain inventory, etc. So the only way I can sign copies is if a buyer sends the book to me for signing or if they attend a book signing. I am going to try to set some up locally with Books A Million and Barnes and Noble in our area (Central Florida). Thank you for your interest!

So will I find it on Amazon on May 1? I'm in CA but will be in Maitland, FL in August where our younger son will be getting married! Probably not the right timing for a book signing but keep me posted. If I can get the timing right with mailing the book to you to sign for "graduation" for my friends' daughter, I will contact you about where to send it for you to sign. I actually have never met her but good friends with her mom and dad, so any gift from me would be a surprise and I'm choosing meaning over $ value 😉.

If you send your contact information to me at my email address, I will order a book, sign it, and send to you. You can reimburse me in whatever manner you wish. I would be happy to pay for this but then it would not be a gift from you. Be sure to give me your friend's daughter's name. Rick

If you don't already read Dr. Yoho's SS I think you might enjoy this. Thank you for speaking out! As a person working in healthcare I appreciate so much those that do! https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/spartacuss-horrific-history-of-the/comments?publication_id=690651&utm_medium=email%2Cemail&comments=true
