Book excerpt

I hope everyone is doing great! It is hard to believe that summer is now gone, and fall is upon us. I have obtained my medical license and am about to start in private practice once again. I am currently working out the logistics with a colleague, who is allowing me to sub-lease his office. He has been extremely helpful and gracious.

I have posted an excerpt from my book. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter Four-Life in the USA
pg.31
In June 1974, my wife and I left Tehran airport to start our journey to the United States, where I would do a residency at Tulane University. After the plane departed, we cried as if we would never return to our homeland. Our first stop was Turkey and the next stop was Geneva, Switzerland. Finally, we arrived in New York before travelling to New Orleans where Tulane University is located.
In the New York airport, my wife and I were both confused. A luggage man approached us and led us to the gate where we would be boarding for New Orleans. Somewhat surprised by my bewilderment, he asked some questions and found out that about my profession. Once he learned that I was a physician, he said facetiously, "Doctor, my mental faculties work better than your medical faculty!" The events of our lives in the ensuing decades proved him right!
