The stories related in this book are all true-life experiences. For the most part I have tried to emphasize the positive and sometimes humorous nature of these stories. Some I have shared with the several hundred medical students who through the years have spent their medical school family practice rotations in our clinic. Those rotations and these real-life stories have served to help everyone to better understand the nature and responsibilities of family practice in a rural community in which many of them will choose to live. The process of writing has made me realize even more so that through the years it has been an HONOR and a PRIVILEGE to have been included in some of the most joyful, and in the most stressful times of the lives of the patients and families who entrusted their care to me. - K.
