Adventures of
a medicine man
These stories are authentic stories, born from my travels
CLIMB A ROCK SPIRE IN THE GARDEN OF THE GODS
CANOE A REMOTE FLORIDA RIVER
EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF A TROPICAL STORM
I am a traveler, adventurer, and medicine man; physician assistant.
These stories are authentic stories, born from my travels.
I became a Physician Assistant in order to help people and use my knowledge to travel the world. Over the years I have both visited and lived on 4 continents.
As a medicine man I worked at medical projects in various areas of the world: Pacific Ocean Islands, Tanzania, Angola, Indonesia. If it involved going to a place I hadn’t ever been to, I’d go.
The wilder, the more remote, the more difficult the project, the better.
Sail the open ocean and the deep blue seas on the Tole Mour, her sails filled by fair winds from the east, and ocean spray coming over the bow rails. Experience an eerie night with a visiting specter.
Then visit the South Seas Island of Vanuatu. Stand at the lip of an active volcano. Drink kava-kava with local tribesmen. Dance through the night around campfires with villagers as they celebrate the passage of their young men to manhood.
With the second adventure, visit the Karini people of Burma, who live in the jungle, rather than under the oppression of communism. Climb a fifty-foot waterfall on elephant back. Smoke some opium and relax to the sound of local flutes and drums wafting in the air.
And then experience traveling across the Indian sub-continent. It’s a day-by-day adventure negotiating the needs of the trip. Then visit the Taj Mahal, ride on Kipling’s well known Frontier Mail train and after a nighttime ferry ride, relax on the beaches of Goa. Beaches that glow at night with the fiery green bioluminescence of millions of tiny plankton.
I loved, loved, loved Adventures of a Medicine Man. I was riding those Elephants right along with you.
As somewhat of a world traveler, I enjoyed Medicine Man and his travels and adventures. Once started I couldn’t stop reading as I wondered what came next. Easy reading and quite captivating.
I found this book to be a wonderful set of adventures
I have been fortunate in my life to have had a plethora of adventures. I have hiked, backpacked, camped, skied, rock climbed, canoed, and ridden horseback in wilderness, ridden in helicopters, and tracked bears.
But I have never sailed a ship on the ocean, ridden an elephant, smoked with tribesmen, or experienced a jungle. Until now. Adventures of a Medicine Man took me on this journey and gave me these experiences, and I enjoyed every moment. David’s writing style is very easy to read and his narratives have enough detail to put you in the moment- all without the heat, humidity, bugs, sea sickness, and questionable food! So sit back and let the storyteller weave his tale.
I look forward to David’s next chronicle.
