About this ebook

This memoir strips away the façade to give an honest and insightful look at the human side of one doctor and many of his patients. Laugh, cry, and scratch your head as you journey with this kid from the wrong side of the tracks in Anderson, IN to medical school, residency training, thirty years in clinical medicine, and his transition into a labor of love--coaching high school basketball. You've never met a doctor who encountered wombats and warlords, took a punch in the operating room, competed on American Ninja Warrior, and had a pepper eating contest with a guy called Fat Whore. The events Dr. Smith experienced while dealing with perfectionism, Impostor Syndrome, self-doubt, alcohol abuse, and being tracked by The Hound of Heaven are told with great humor and refreshing candor. Coach Smith's melodic voice is conversational and real. You'll feel like he's having a personal conversation with you to the very last page.

J. Douglas Smith

J.Douglas Smith, M.D. (Dr. Smith/Coach Smith) was born and raised in Anderson, IN. He attended Indiana University for undergraduate studies and medical school. He has been Board Certified in Family Medicine since he completed his residency training at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, IN in 1989. With his wife Laura, and two daughters, Jeri and Erin, he lives outside Anderson in what he calls the middle of a postcard in Moonsville, IN. His passions include his family, being the best friend he can be, glorifying God by doing the next right thing, and oh yeah...he sort of likes basketball.
