The posthumous autobiography of WLM Careers founding editor B.

The Fink story begins in England, travels to South Africa and Europe, then settles in the United States.  His varied experiences add to a panorama of other selected stories presented in this volume, including personal accounts from anesthesiologists in Japan, Canada and a clinician in private practice.
