He has carried the lessons he learned throughout his career, not only as a physician, but also as a participant and spokesman on behalf of the medical profession. His first exposure to being an author began when he wrote commentaries as president of his local county medical society. That experience led to eight years as a monthly contributor for American Medical News. During that tenure he was appointed to the American Medical Association’s Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs, where he first began to question the whys of the many problems impacting the way health care was being delivered. He subsequently authored the book Dr. Mayo’s Boy: A Century of American Medicine, which chronicled the changes in medicine over the last one hundred years through poignant vignettes of his experiences. While continuing to maintain a full practice, last year Rob created a website, Echoes for the Future, which discusses the impact many of the social issues facing our country have on health care delivery. Woven into his discussion is the relevance of the founding principles of the medical profession. Rob shares his free time with his wife of forty-seven years, Janet, and their children and grandchildren. They currently reside in Dallas, but are spending more time at their 1820s adobe home, which they have recently remodeled, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.ver menos
