LONGWOOD, FLA.-When Samuel Burton left the world of medicine to pursue a new career in journalism, he never imagined how soon he would be confronted by past frustrations and ethical struggles, the very issues he so desperately wanted to get away from. But these issues come looming before him once again when he learns that his first assignment is to write an investigative piece about Dr. Timothy Cannon, nationally known physician whose community has condemned him even before his trial has gotten underway. Evidence Based Medicine (paperback, 978-1-60477-280-7) by Donald J. Denby, Jr., M.D., explores the ethical dilemmas in both the practice and the business of medicine, as well as examining Christians' rush to exclude salvation for those whom society has condemned.
"Through this story of love, heartache, and hope, the goal of this book is to encourage those struggling in their faith," says Denby. "Being a Christian physician, husband, and father, nothing is more important to me than for others to see the work of God in their lives, even under the direst of circumstances."
Evidence Based Medicine is about the journey of one man who finds meaning in his life while investigating the downfall of another. The city of Jefferson, Missouri, is the setting of this book, which perfectly sets the stage as this story of intrigue unfolds and ultimately involves the highest levels of the state government.
Donald (DJ) Denby finished his medical training in 2005 as the culmination of a lifelong interest in medicine. This is his first novel, and he drew extensively from his medical experience to create the story. He spends his spare time with his family and with the love of his life - his wife, Lea.
