An Ethical Physician

An Ethical Physician is a true epic story of a physician who began his Nineteenth-Century life among the moneyed gentlemen of the old South, only to see his heritage stripped of all dignity and status. Earning his own way through medical school Dr. James G. Hopkins made his way in the reconstructed South as a family man, a beloved physician and a civic leader. Just as Dr. Hopkins had everything to live for—loving wife, devoted children, respect of his community, and a successful medical practice—his world was brought crashing down around him in a flashing moment. Barely escaping his beloved hometown, the Good Doctor became a hunted man with a high price on his head. Always seeking the opportunity to clear his name, Dr. Hopkins went on the lamb, taking up new identities and building more medical practices and successful personas than could be expected of any mortal man. He built and abandoned several fortunes, and families, always looking over his shoulder for Pinkerton men or a local Sheriff with retirement in mind. An Ethical Physician is a riveting journey through the Old West, the Hawaiian Islands and Untamed Mexico seen through the eyes of a medical man with restoration on his mind, and longing in his heart.
