The DO Book Club, March 2024: ‘Go by Boat’ and ‘Island Medicine’

By The DO Staff

03.15.24

Fortunately for us, author Chuck Radis, DO, loves to share the moving stories of how he came to practice internal medicine and raise his family on a Maine island. Unlike many medical memoirs that play out in the urban hospitals of Boston, New York City or Philadelphia, Dr. Radis brings us to the wild and isolated islands off the Portland, Maine, coast to meet lobstermen, cantankerous islanders and some feisty nuns.
