Dr. Gary Smalls is husband to Gigi Vorgan and a distinguished psychiatrist and researcher. After thirty years of practice and research on the human brain, he has written a book about his most intriguing and bizarre cases. He begins with the beginning of his career as a shift doctor in a Boston hospital and takes us through his career ending in California. Whether it's the naked lady who stood on her head, a shrinking penis or hysterical blindness, the cases are always interesting and sometimes downright funny...proof that truth really is stranger than fiction. His career comes full circle when his mentor becomes his patient and he realizes that anyone can experience psychiatric issues.
Never fear, Dr. Smalls does not violate any patient confidentiality rules, always changing pertinent information to avoid having his patients recognized. The book is well-written, witty and informative, always reminding us that our eccentricities are what makes us human.
The authors also have a blog with a great deal of useful information about a variety of mental health subjects. You can find it HERE.
