An uplifting success story concerning Dr. Sampson, though. Recommended. KH Sampson Davis could very easily have gone the other way. Fortunately, he overcame the bad influences he encountered on the tough streets of Newark and became a doctor. Instead of turning his back on his past he ultimately ended up working in the emergency room in his old neighborhood. His explanations of what he encounters in doing his job are informative and often graphic examples of inner city life. He also includes a lot of informative and helpful medical material from several sources. Although the author directs his information and remarks specifically to the African American community this account is important for all people. This is an important book because it addresses many health problems as well as practical advice for individuals and society as a whole. Any compassionate, caring, informed citizen should read this book. Thank you Dr. Sampson Davis for you compassionate care and all your efforts reaching out to as many people as possible. I received this book in a Goodreads Giveaway and I am so glad that I did. I did not read "The Pact." I picked this book up by accident. I am glad that I did. This book goes into detail on Sampson Davis's road to becoming a E.R. doctor. What he witnessed personally growing up, what he witnessed as doctor and how he works to stem the tide for having the E.R. be the first doctor's appointment someone has had in awhile. At the end of some chapters, he lists information on how you can help yourself or others on a variety of issues such as contraception and asthma. He also covers his life since "The Pact" was released. The sad part of this is that this book will be put on a shelf, filed away as those who need this information the most will be sitting in front of a computer or phone instead of reading the text inbetween the spine. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
