Dr. Eikleberry's autobiography chronicles one mid-western, middle-class woman's life in a rapidly changing century for women. You'll learn what it was like to grow up on a farm in Missouri, to attend a one room school, to graduate high school at the end of WWII, and to compete against the college Greeks via an Independent Society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e She started medical school as one of two women in a class of forty-four and subsequently lost peace and tranquility. Polio dominated her first private practice in Iowa. Soon she had four children and began life as a juggler, juxtaposing medical practice and family. She moved with her physician husband across the western United States; she experienced sexual harassment in her work for the military and derision from her fellow physicians as she cut costs for the Department of Public Assistance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Her medical practice ended in Colorado. Children now nearly grown, she and Bill embarked on a more recreational family project: the building of a log cabin in the remote Rocky Mountains. She tells the heart-wrenching story of losing their son to schizophrenia, a baffling and frightening mental illness. In conclusion, she takes you into a doctor's mind, illustrating how too much money was spent on health care when less would have done, pointing out the many shades of gray in medicine, and stressing the value of clinical judgment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lois Schillie Eikleberry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1425163335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781425163334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Lois Schillie Eikleberry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444791521535,"sku":"9781425163334","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58665f55-ac6a-46d9-9b1b-4db5ff2f9754.jpg?v=1777214580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-20th-century-woman-lois-schillie-eikleberry-9781425163334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
