    About this ebook

    These are a collection of poems I wrote through medical school and residency: the lonely nights studying, stress, no sleep, the fear of failure, the new language of medicine, and loves lost and found. Then of decisions, to move West, or move to the beach. I moved to the beach. This is an old shoebox of poems opened to share with you. I hope you enjoy. Doug

    I have been a primary doctor in Wilmington, North Carolina for 10 years now. On this journey, my Golden Retriever, Jessie, fully supported me and helped me publish this book through constant encouragement.
