John Geyman, M.D. shares a synopsis of his latest book.

Transformation of U.S. Health Care 1960-2020: One Family Physician’s Journey is a new book by John Geyman, M.D.

Dr. Geyman takes a reader on a trip through health care in the United States in the last 60 years by weaving the changes into his perspective as a physician. He describes medical school, his first practice as a family physician in Mount Shasta, California, teaching and work in universities to establish and expand family medicine programs, and seven years as a physician at the Inter-Island Medical Center in Friday Harbor.

Since 1997 he has focused on research and writing about problems of the U.S. health care system including costs, access for patients, and the conflict between the business “ethic” and the medical profession’s service ethic.

This book offers insight into Dr. Geyman and his family, the joy of flying as a pilot, and life changing challenges in his life.

It is available at Griffin Bay Bookstore in Friday Harbor and Darvill’s Bookstore in Eastsound.

  1. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Geyman. He’s a medical legend. I’ve been privileged to get to know him and learn from him since moving to the island. Having his support for our new practice model has truly been one of the confirmations we needed. His newest book is excellent. Anyone with an interest in healthcare should read it (as well as his others).
