Ferrol Sams, Author | Writinghood

Everyone who reads Ferrol Sam’s books knows what an excellent writer he is. I read the first book he published "Run With the Horseman" many years ago and I still remember it.

Patients Beware of Medical Errors | Socyberty

In general, we hold our doctors in awe. We look up to them and trust them with our families health. Even so, physicians do make mistakes. In serious health issues, a second and third opinion is appropriate. Mistakes can be found in the doctors office just as surely as in the general population.The medical profession has come a long way in the last fifty years and we can be thankful. Most of the old fashioned treatments were based on complacency, ignorance and lack of progress.
