John Geyman, M.D. has written a new book on transformation of health care since 1960

Transformation of U.S. Health Care  1960-2020  One Family Physician’s Journey is a new book by John Geyman, M.D.

Dr. Geyman takes a reader on a trip through health care in the United States in the last 60 years by weaving the changes into his perspective as a physician. He describes medical school, his first practice as a family physician in Mount Shasta, CA, teaching and work in universities to establish/expand family medicine programs, and seven years as a physician at the Inter-Island Medical Center in Friday Harbor.

Since 1997 he has focused on research and writing about problems of the U.S. healthcare system including costs, access for patients, and the conflict between the business “ethic” and the medical profession’s service ethic.

This book offers insight into Dr. Geyman and his family, the joy of flying as a pilot, and life changing challenges in his life. 

It is available at Darvill’s Bookstore in Eastsound.
