On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service

with great admiration and respect, eventhough there were chapters I didn't understand much, Dr. Fauci, you are a Godsend in a perfect time and space. thank you for your inmense and exemplary wisdom , humbleness and integrity. God bless you and your family

Written with care and detail even with medical words no one without a medical degree can pronounce. Written with ease of communication the Dr. has the ability to explain difficult medical situations. A great read by a man who has unselfishly devoted his entire life to helping his fellow man. Respect and appreciation, thank you.

I bought both the ebook and the unabridged audiobook, because to me, this explains a horribly dangerous and trying time; but it is also a window into serious diseases, disease prevention and cures. It is hard to understand the current attacks on science and medicine, the denialism, the contrary hateful unsubstantiated arguments and misinformation which is repeated constantly. Reading world, medical, social, cultural and political history clearly illustrates the carnage that misunderstood and unchecked diseases can do to humans and societies. I am so grateful that before and during my long life, so many diseases were diagnosable, preventable, curable, and led to further breakthrough research findings. Human longevity is largely the result of being able to treat childhood diseases, sanitation, safe water, protection from environmental extremes, and repairing injuries. Our human health and lives depend on dedicated physicians, medical staff and researchers. I greatly respect this doctor.
