Excerpts from Reviews or References

"From ego-errors & tomfoolery, to greed, stupidity & murder. I've laughed and cried at Mr. McDonald's astutely biting, at times hysterical few of my peer group. Disturbing, provocative, uncomfortably funny." Lesley Miller, MD. (former "Surgeon to the Stars") U.S.C. School of Medicine, Los Angeles "I wish I could report that these misguided peers of mine are few and far between. Unfortunately I cannot do so. That in itself makes McDonald's writings, sadly, important." William Hollingsworth, MD former Chief of Medicine, Veterans Medical Center, San Diego
