New novel Mission Chechyna by Therese Zink, MD Interview & Discussion

Dr Jonas, your host for the Dr. Synonymous Show, is delighted to get to interview Dr. Therese Zink again about her newest book, Mission Chechnya, a novel reflecting many of her insights about that area of the world and global health issues.  She will discuss the origin of the book, its background and her own, and her passion for writing and global health. The book starts with a birth in the airport bathroom and moves from there to provide perspectives  on health needs and issues in Chechyna through well described characters.  General questioning will include these type questions:  How did you come to be a book author? Are you a reader, too? How often do you write?  What's your schedule? Why this book? Why these characters? How do you decide on the depth of character development for these people?  I was impressed by the developmental detail of characters, situation, themes, etc. How should global health be addressed?  By whom? Once you're global, can you ever be local again? How does Wright State BSOM introduce and promote global health and global health service? How does a senior Family Medicine Scholar, Author, Leader operationalize global health interests/commitments? How much fun are you having? What's the process for promoting and selling books that you've authored? etc. etc   A chat room will be available for listeners to make comments during the interview.  We probably won't have time for call ins.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.
