“That’s Life: It’s Sexually Transmitted and Terminal” is filled with fifty-one outlandish and mildly-exaggerated (only a bit, per the author), yet true tales.  Like many husbands (mine included), Barry Friedman, MD, drove his wife crazy telling “those damned” stories over and over again.  He will not in the least drive you crazy but will stir up many other emotions – mostly good belly laughs along with some snickers.

In over fifty-years as a physician specializing in orthopedic surgery, Dr. Friedman, has put those notes he has taken to good use.  As you read: “No stool, No school,” “The Sword is mightier than the Pen-is,” and so many others, you will quickly come to realize that doctor’s do have a sense of humor and this doctor has chosen to share his with us. 

“That’s Life: It’s Sexually Transmitted and Terminal” by Barry Friedman, MD, is so much more than a really good read.  I will be passing my copy on to many who are facing surgery and other medical issues.  What an uplifting and somewhat motivational read this will be, a sure smile on their face.
