Krohn chronicles his journey from boyhood in small-town Nebraska to military high school in Indiana to medical school in Michigan. His humorous, often poignant true-life tales reflect on medical practice in the 1950s and 1960s, when young doctors modeled the fashions of TV physician Ben Casey and nervous fathers-to-be paced back and forth in a designated Fathers Waiting Room. In stories such as \"A Grand Impression,\" Krohn describes growing up in the Great Depression, when a young boy's pride in receiving his first pair of Levi's swiftly turns into a mortifying disaster. Humiliation takes on new heights in \"My Brief Stint as a Tap Dancer,\" in which young Krohn's mother enrolls him in an all-girl tap dancing class. In \"A Difficult Patient,\" Krohn describes how an encounter with a particularly exasperating patient made him a better doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booksurge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45497632587927,"sku":"9781439228098","price":947.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781439228098.webp?v=1767448319","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tap-dancing-babies-and-cadavers-humor-and-pathos-in-the-life-of-20th-century-doctor-9781439228098","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
