This is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and reminiscences written, collected, and compiled over a long professional life.
They amuse or provoke serious thought, aiming to make the reader laugh for a few moments and think for much longer.
Most are in short essay form, some with a discursive introductory beginning leading to a serious or amusing ending, the real thrust of the story.
Most are based on personal experience. The stories about bees are factual and based on a life-long hobby of beekeeping.
The last thoughtfully written section from a lifetime as a doctor is entirely serious, educational, and thought-provoking.
