As the son of a well-known politician and national military hero, some might think Risteárd Mulcahy's life would have been one of comfort and privilege -- but they'd be wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA refreshingly candid memoir, Medical Maverick charts the personal and professional life of a true Irish progressive. Risteárd revisits his childhood in Rathmines (complete with cows, chickens and armed guards outside the family home), his fast times as a young doctor in London, his early career delivering babies in some of Dublin's worst slums, the breakdown of his marriage and his eminent career in cardiology and high-profile health campaigner as one of the first anti-smoking advocates in the country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat emerges perhaps more than anything is the way Risteárd has lived a free, liberal and progressive life -- which may not have always been the easiest option, considering the general climate of fifties and sixties Ireland, but undoubtedly proved to be the most varied and fulfilling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Risteárd Mulcahy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907593071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907593079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liberties Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Risteárd Mulcahy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448016908543,"sku":"9781907593079","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bea01f0d-d731-4974-b530-aab40f768f35.jpg?v=1777236335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memoirs-of-a-medical-meverick-ristezard-mulcahy-9781907593079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
