Dr. Mayo's Boy traces the medical experiences of three generations of Texas physicians in small town Waxahachie and big city Dallas. Dr. Mayo's Boy explores how physicians have viewed their commitment to their patients, how they sacrifice to meet the challenges they face and how the practice of medicine has, sadly, changed over almost sixty years. Dr. Mayo's Boy is full of stories that are often heartening in their humanity and sometimes disturbing in what they reveal about contemporary health care.
