Special Deliveries: A Surgeon's Story of Birth, Death, And Learning to See

Dr. Kington tells the story of his transformative decision to retool from accountant/actuary to obstetrician/gynecologist. His journey begins at the theater watching "Coming Home" starring Jon Voight when Dr. Kington turned to his wife and said, "Honey, that's what I want to do. I want to be a doctor." (He had never even taken a science course.) His route is lined with risk and joy, and peppered with unforgettable people. "Special Deliveries" is in turn poignant, funny, heartbreaking, and reassuring.
