Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pepi Granat began a journey to aid her fellow human at a time when women were not encouraged to pursue professional careers of their own. Neither this nor anything else-including raising three children-could keep Dr. Granat from realizing her goal: to bring healing and comfort to those who need it. "Why do you want to be around sickness and death?" her grandmother once asked. "Do something where you can laugh and be happy." "But sickness and death will still be there, even if I can't see them," she replied. "Knowing they're there and not doing anything about it, I can't laugh or be happy, either." In "The Real Drama: Incredible Medicine," Pepi Granat, MD, recounts stories from a remarkable career filled with great achievements and joy-and no small measure of sacrifice or suffering. The details of her extensive activism, her cogent analysis of the current state of medicine (and creative solutions for improving it in a sustainable manner) are thoughtfully laid out with her characteristic warmth and accessible style.
