Fiction

“Jack Armstrong is an engaging storyteller, whose narratives are shaped by a lifetime of practicing internal medicine and exploring faith. He invites the reader to enter into the complex interaction of scientific data and protocol, family dynamics, diverse personal needs and motivations, legal considerations, and ethical dilemmas in the practice of modern medicine. These stories make the case for the critical role of doctors and medical professionals who are attentive to patients and shaped by humanitarian impulses to negotiate these interactions. They are a graphic reminder that medicine really is an art as well as a science.”
