The Best Medicine

Tales of Humor and Hope from a Small-Town Doctor

De: Walt Larimore MD, Jerry B. Jenkins - foreword

Narrado por: Tom Parks

When Dr. Walt Larimore moved his young family to Kissimmee, Florida, to start a small-town medical practice in 1985, he had no idea he was embarking on an enterprise that would change his life in ways both large and small. But there's no telling what you'll run into as a family physician in a rural, small-town community.

Perfect for anyone yearning for a simpler, slower pace of life, as well as fans of Dr. Larimore's popular Bryson City series, The Best Medicine is a tender and insightful collection of stories chronicling one young doctor's passage from inexperience to maturity as a physician, husband, father, and community member. Filled with characters colorful and crusty, warmhearted and hotheaded, witty and winsome, these captivating stories glow with warmth, love, and humor. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll wish Dr. Larimore was your doctor.

A Gem!

I downloaded this on a whim and I enjoyed every word of it! Thanks Dr. Walt! Fairy Dust!

recommended for all, even if not interested...

... even if not interested in medicine! inspiring, tear-jerking, and hilarious stories of family practice medicine, faith, family, mentoring, and fathering!

Nice

This story is very nice of Dr Lathimore and his family. it is somewhat of a religious book...to me I believe. ..where anyone else who is not religious you may not like the book ..the beliefs.. The doctor is a well loved.

What a wonderfully Uplifting Book

I have known Walt and Barb since High School. We were not close. They were part of the “popular” kids, me not so much. I have read his book The Best Medicine and was delighted at how talented Walt is. He and Barb are good people, even back in school. I can believe all the medical stories and the religious aspects that touched my heart and where I’m lacking. You will enjoy this book. Thank you Walt for writing this book. I’ll be reading all your books now!

Like Getting Advice from your Father!

He tells us funny stories then throws in some subtle but hard earned wisdom. A soothing read full of challenging wisdom.

Well written. Well performed.

Will be reading/listening to more from this author. His down-home style disarms you so that hard and deep truths reach their mark.

Nicely done.

While most stories were interesting, I was needing more humor. Strong religious base which didn’t bother me but bears a mention.

Amazing life story

This is a great story of the journey of life and how Jesus can transform your life.

Very engaging

I enjoyed every word and appreciated the emphasis on growing in faith. I liked how he included his own shortcomings too.

Memories

For quite a few years, I was Drs. Hartman and Larimore’s medical transcriptionist. For quite a bit of this time, Dr. Larimore would start a day’s dictation with a Bible verse. He was the only doctor I ever worked with to do that.

I never knew how full his life was outside of his practice. It was nice to listen to this book....more than a walk down Memory Lane.

I have just one more anecdote to add here.

One day I had a dentist appointment, for which I had to premeditate, due to a heart condition. I had taken the medication quite a few times without I’ll effect. On this particular day, however, It had a violent effect on my stomach. I rushed to Dr. Larimore’s office, sick as a dog. In the parking lot, barely able to walk, I met up with Barb Larimore, his wonderful wife. She rushed up to me, put her arm around me, and guided me into the treatment room, covering me with a blanket and alerting her husband to my situation. Barb surely deserves a book of her own! She is a very special lady.
