ON CALL A Doctor's Journey in Public Service

Doctor Fauci's public career spans five decades; he served seven presidents as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. His reputation is secured by a shelf of medals and awards--including the National Award for Science. Now a professor at Georgetown University, Dr. Fauci gained prominence during the COVID-19 epidemic for his confrontations with the former president and far right members of Congress. This audiobook gives his side of the story and reveals a workaholic doctor who dedicated his career to battling infectious diseases. Sadly, he and his family's lives were threatened by anti-vaxxers who vilified him. Tinged with his Brooklyn accent, his reading is authentic, if not melodic. He ably simplifies the scientific concepts he encountered in his life in medicine. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
