Go By Boat by Dr Chuck Radis

Author of the upcoming book, Go By Boat.
James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small meets Doc Martin in this uniquely American tale of a young physician setting up a medical practice on the gritty islands of Maine’s Casco Bay.

In a career which spans island medicine to rheumatology, from public health work in a UN refugee settlement to advocacy for Medicare for all, Dr. Radis’ writings focus on the importance of empathy and kindness in patient care. Join the conversation on how healthcare workers can nurture their connection to patients. Follow-along, or better yet, submit your own writings on how we can improve healthcare in the 21st century.
