Saving My Neck: A Doctor's East/West Journey through Cancer is a riveting memoir that reviewers call a page turner, a spectacular read, a book they could not put down. In 1997, Timothy McCall, MD left a successful medical career to become a yoga therapist. Twenty years later, diagnosed with a Stage 4a metastatic cancer, he returned his focus to the practice of medicine, this time as a patient. He would need all he had learned in both healing worlds…. Dr. McCall, author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller Yoga As Medicine, leads us on a surprise-filled journey from South India to the US and back, from banana, jackfruit and coconut groves to sterile hospital wards.
