I really like to see books authored, edited or significantly contributed to by our osteopathic colleagues. And there are more of them out there than you might think.
Doctoring is a tough business, regardless of which specialty you practice. I chose these books because they might make caring for patients easier or at least more understandable.
Amazon Book Reviews
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dr. Yurvati for several years. He is a great leader, physician and now author. Loved reading the book and can relate to his early beginnings. Humor, love, passion, trials and tribulations, a story like no other. A must read!! Looking forward to book #2.

Awesome book, relatable beginnings, humbling and very inspiring
The author writes about his humble beginnings in a working class of Allentown, PA. Schooled in a Catholic high school with notorious trio of nuns. His army stint where he planned to be a paramedic met the love of his life leading to becoming a well-known cardio-thoracic surgeon. But a twist of fate turned his life into a caregiver and eventually a patient himself. An excellent read! ~ JSP

Heartfelt account of the path of one Cardiothoracic surgeon who found his passion and whose fire was fueled by the love of his life. Entertaining stories of growing up, serving our country, and the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed in medicine. Humble beginnings make this open and honest story very relatable.

Excellent Book!!!A Great read for anyone interested in a Healthcare Profession!!!So Inspiring!!!
I’ve known Dr. Yurvati for years and never knew this back story. He tells an engaging story full of truth and grit. To read his story and see him go from an under-performing high schooler to one of our academic medical giants is truly inspiring! And he is still such a nice guy! And he doesn’t spare the tough details about his current health and that of his wife. I just loved reading his story!
