Facing Life’s Extreme Circumstances and Coming Out a Winner! 

Featuring: Dr. Tom Sims

Today’s guest is Dr. Tom Sims – who while in the midst of his medical training, was swept away by the draft to become a MASH surgeon in Vietnam. But a twist of fate sent him to the Alaskan frontier instead, and there – working far beyond his level of training or experience.

Performing surgery under flashlights, delivering babies in remote Eskimo villages – including delivery of his own son – and traveling over life threatening terrains to deliver health care to people in dire need, were all in a day’s work as Tom vividly described in his book, On Call In The Arctic.

The book shows readers how anyone can survive when life throws them a curveball and they are left with nothing but their instincts to show them what path to follow.
