An Old Fart's Guide to Almost Everything........That Matters - Paperback

by William B. Waddell MD (Author)

The focus of this book is on the aging male, though I suspect the significant other will be most interested as well. It is a collection of anecdotes, advice and reminisences gathered over 50 years of medical care. You will not find any astounding revelations here. The content, though known, wasn't appreciated as much til the author entered the hallowed halls of old farthood himself. He is an avuncular storyteller and had a lot of fun in the writing of these very readable pages.
