A Great Story and A Must Read

Swords and Saints is a truly wonderful story of a Warrior and Physician. Dr Bob Adams took a very unconventional path to becoming an Army Physician and the book tells a very personal story of that journey for both he and his family. A great read and well worth your time.

Fascinating personal story and doctor with good soul

We need more doctors like Mr. Adams who love to help people with good heart. Sad to see money is the main driver in nowadays healthcare industry.
