THE NEW WESTERN DOCTOR

Book 1 A Western Medical Fiction circa 1900-1930 Romance and Entrepreneur

By: Richard M Beloin MD

The Story....... Doctor Brad Kelly, while woolgathering, was riding along the river. He had to make an existential decision as he saw a nude woman trying to stay afloat with a rushing wall of mud on her tail from a likely dam blow-out. Reacting quickly he was able to pull the drowning gal to shore. After spending two days getting acquainted, he told the gal he was a physician and came to town to open up a hospital. After a week of an accelerated romance, the two got married and then headed to a medical center for extra training—Brad in surgery, and Addie in nursing. The Duo then went thru some grueling hoops of study, work, and lack of sleep. Addie excelled and quickly advanced from ward RN to OR nurse, and then to a surgeon’s assistant level. Brad was a natural talent and quickly mastered the surgical techniques and became an attending surgeon prematurely. While in training their hospital was getting built and after making friends with other couples in training they all made their way back to 1905 Texas to set up their practices. With years of growing pains, the golden years were upon the group till they ran into WW1 which took one of their surgeons out of practice for the war’s duration. During the war, realizing that a pandemic was looming, the Duo built a new wing to care for influenza victims. The treatment they gave saved but 4% of the sickest patients. Entering the Roaring 20’s, the hospital and its doctors flourished as three doctors went back into training to learn specialties in orthopedics, urology, and vascular surgery. It was also the time for the Kelly kids and their spouses to be in medical and surgical training. It was after the stock market crash of 1929 that the next generation of Kellys would bring the hospital thru the depression and into the future.

THE HOSPITAL STEWARD

A Western Medical Fiction circa 1930-1950 Romance and Entrepreneur

By: Richard M Beloin MD

The Story....... When the next generation of doctors arrived in the early 30s, they spent a few years getting settled in—getting to know the patients, the hospital, the other doctors, and spent time demonstrating their abilities and reliability. Then the polio epidemic was upon them. Fortunately the two lady doctors had volunteered in the Dallas Polio Center with emphasis on the breathing room where polio victims could not maintain their breathing because of paralyzed intercostal and diaphragm muscles. To the rescue, ‘The Iron Lung.’ The time spent explaining what polio was and what it did to the human body was enlightening. More than that, explaining how the ‘iron lung’ worked was revealing for this was a miracle treatment of an otherwise fatal and inhumane disease—no one should die of suffocation. The remainder of the story deals with differing methods the hospital administrators devised to guarantee the hospital’s survival. That included being certified as a regional medical center, adding several new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and becoming an official medical school outlying training center. In summary, the way medicine evolved and dealt with an incredible epidemic was in itself rewarding. However, how the characters changed throughout the fifty years is well presented to make this story ‘a keeper.’

After that war, the Duo now in their late 50’s and wealthy, passed the business to their son and daughter.

The Culminators

A Bounty Hunting, Romance, And Entrepreneur Series, Book 9

By: Dr. Richard M Beloin MD

The Story.......... Ray ‘Coop’ Cooper had been a bounty hunter for two years, but now after losing his partner to a medical condition, he considered putting his guns up since he no longer had a backup. In the midst of his last caper, his life was saved by a woman and a dog. After much haggling, the gal convinced him to take her on as his backup. After several successful capers, Ray saw the need to protect this impish gal called Elle—double E double L. Seeing the need for stability, the Duo purchased a gun-shop and spent time promoting it. Coop came to a realistic awareness that bounty hunting was too dangerous for a family man, and the slow pace of a gun-shop was not his style. It was serendipity when a neighbor convinced them to purchase a 2,500-acre woodlot, set up a state-of-the-are sawmill, get some training, and become millionaires in eight years. After a month of training in Houston, they returned with four friends, and proceeded to set up a sawmill. After growing woes and making changes, the team became proficient. In time they added a kiln, then enlarged it, added a planer, and organized the first known sawmill ‘open house’ to promote and sell their quality products.
