Summary: True Medical Dedicated Professional
Review: I purchased and read Dr. Greer's book and was expremely impressed with the details that were modestly included. I did see his presentation on cable TV and his image is is as modest as the book is written. I feel that he is an asset to the medical profession and writing profession and would sincerely like to see more work by him in literature. I would like to stresss here that I have read this book 4 times and still pickup different things while reading this text. The book is an excellent credit to his modesty, profession, humbleness, an sincerity to society.

Summary: Exellent book
Review: The book was exellent. It made me really see what goes on with the homeless. Dr. Greer has struggled with giving the homeless medical service, as well as becoming their friend. The same way Dr. Greer has learned from the homeless, we all should learn from him and help him in this.

Summary: An inspiring book by a physician who really cares!
Review: This book by Dr. Greer is an excellent account of how one well-intentioned physician was able to defy the odds, the political and social establishment, and the bureaucracy to help those less fortunate. He has mobilized many sectors of this community into helping the homeless, to the point of drawing national attention to their plight.The book also gives the reader insight into the process of becoming a physician for the reason the profession exists--to help those in pain and need. He is certainly the quintessential role model for medical students to emulate. As a physician colleague, I congratulate him both on his book and his community service. I am sure you will find this book as hard to put down as I did. ***** Great Job- Joe Greer and Liz Balmaseda*****

Summary: One Man can make a Difference
Review: This book is an inspiration to anyone who reads it. Students who have seen Joe Greer work at the shelters and free clinics in Miami, are inspired to follow in his footsteps and to participate in solving the problems in their communities. Now, readers everywhere can meet this courageous doctor and feel empowered to also make a difference. Ultimately, he is right, it will take the personal involvement of private citizens to change the world- not government agencies. I am grateful to Dr. Greer for this beautiful book. Like a stone cast into a pond, the ripple effect of this book will have positive and far reaching consequences. Above all, it will help make us more sensitive and encourage us to make our own small contribution to create justice and peace. Peace to you, Dr. Greer!

Summary: AMENDMENT AND PRAISE FOR AUTHOR
Review: WHEN I PURCHASED THIS INSPIRATIONAL BOOK ON THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, I NEVER SAW THE DAY WHEN I WOULD BE READING AND RE READING A BOOK FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. BOOK HAS IMPACT ON ANYONE INTERESTED IN SOCIETY AND IT'S ENHANCEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT. THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF DR. GREER'S KIND OF LITERATURE AND FEELINGS EXRESSED IN WRITING. THE TEXT IN GENERAL IS NOT HEAVY READING BUT HAS CONSIDERABLE EMOTION AND GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A WHITE COAT SERVING HIS COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY WITH THE ENDORSEMENT OF HIS WIFE AND FAMILY. THE DOCTOR IS ALSO TRAINING DOCTORS HOW TO BECOME SENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION SHOULD BE USING THIS TYPE OF BOOK AS A METHOD OF TEACHING AND EDUCATING OTHER DOCTORS WITHIN THEIR HALLS OF ACADEMIA. AS AM INSTRUCTOR AT AREA COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN BUSINESS, I WILL INCLUDE THIS BOOK ON MY SUGGESTED READ LIST FOR ETHICS IN BUSINESS AND AREAS WHERE THEY ARE DEALING WITH PEOPLE.
