More of That Same Life Author:Richard Nelson Richard Nelson gets high on life--and he's sure that life is about good times, good sex, and good food, in that order! This fascinating new book is the life story of this intrepid adventurer. A practicing doctor of medicine, the author first relates the intensity of medical school, internship, and a year of surgical residency when he was jus... more »t starting out. As for military service, "Vietnam was going pretty well," says a tongue-in-cheek author, "so I was drafted into the Air Force where I delivered 400 babies and learned to do pelvic surgery." After the war, Dr. Nelson joined a family medical group that represented a new beginning for the author and established a life-goal: "To see what there is to see and do what there is to do!" The author tracks game in Botswana, survives air pollution in China, is justifiably impressed by the ruins of Angkor Wat, takes pictures of penguins in Antarctica, and thinks that running into several barracuda during a dive is "really neat!" There are chapters discussing the "reproductive exercise" and some personal pet peeves on those so-called "established principles," as this former decathlon athlete writes with an appealing flair that brings readers into his exciting world. "Many authors write stories about 'my first parachute jump.' None of mine are entry level; all are true. They demonstrate what individuals can accomplish if they want to." In this exciting book, Richard Nelson certainly backs up his beliefs with action, and now brings it to readers for their ultimate enjoyment.« less
