Thomas J. Sims, M.D. is a writer and actor who studied Zoology and Creative Writing at UCLA before attending medical school at Creighton University. After leaving Alaska, he began a private medical practice and began to write and act. He now runs a medical consultation practice and the website DocTalkToday.com. He lives in Bend, Oregon.
“A lively and touching debut. Sims’ writing moves at a rapid-pace,
in step with the life-and-death tales he recounts, slowing down
only to focus on such moving occasions as the birth of a
three-pound baby and the painful death of a hospital colleague.
Sims has delivered a captivating account of practicing medicine in
the furthest reaches of the U.S.”
*Publishers Weekly*
“The best parts of the memoir are, without doubt, the fast-paced
accounts of some of the doctor’s medical cases and situations,
[which are] fascinating and often harrowing. It’s apparent
that Sims’s time in Nome made a great impression on him.”
*The Anchorage Daily News*
