Physician Memoirs

Upon returning home from golf on a rare afternoon free of responsibilities, Dr. Beverly Joyce, a busy and beloved OB-GYN, listened to a phone message that would shake her identity and send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. That call would instantly help free her from the hidden doubt, guilt, and shame that had plagued her throughout her life.

Dr. Alagoz writes a powerful memoir on the dangers healthcare professionals face, chasing their dream to pursue a medical career with integrity and to change lives. She was a successful and well-respected Obstetrician/Gynecologist in a small Texas town, having delivered over four thousand babies in her career, when a powerful hospital administrator lodged accusations that changed her life forever.

The secret to healing from physician burnout, re-connecting with loved ones, and rediscovering daily joy resides in an unlikely place: the comedy club. In Prescription Comedy, author Dr. Pranathi Kondapaneni shares her personal journey with burnout and how an almost accidental foray into the world of comedy proved key to her cure.
