Dr. Sally Burbank
AUTHOR

As a primary care doctor for 35-years, I have accumulated dozens of inspiring, humorous, touching, and maddening patient stories. In 2011, penned some of these stories in a blog. Feedback on the blog was so favorable, I compiled these (and other stories) into a book I called, Patients I will Never Forget. (For the HIPPA police out there, I did obtain signed consents of all living patients and changed the names and occupations to further ensure compliance with all federal privacy laws.)

If you enjoy the stories in my blog, purchase my book, Patients I Will Never Forget, which is a compilation of my best stories. Also, sign up for my newsletter, Ask Dr. Sally, on the link below to stay abreast of future writings, including a sequel to Patients I Will Never Forget called MORE Patients I Will Never Forget.
