Island Practice: Cobblestone Rash, Underground Tom, and Other Adventures of a Nantucket Doctor

This is the true story of a real life small town doctor, Dr Timothy Lepore, on the island of Nantucket with its mix of rich and famous vacationers and off-beat, independent year round residents. Part surgeon, part medical examiner, unofficial psychologist, Dr Lapore often holds the life of the island in his hands. He's known for being contradictory and controversial, he's just a idiosyncratic as his patients, but ultimately he's essential to the community and a maverick at a time when medicine is increasingly impersonal and consumed by greed and profit-driven corporations.
