A Doctor's Journey

Ann Arbor

F

or readers who love reading
nonfiction medical stories,
check out A Journey Through
Medicine: A Doctor's Lessons from His
Patients Reflecting Medical Practice
During the Mid- and Late-Twentieth
Century by Dr. Robert A. Green of Ann
Arbor.
The book is full of
short stories about
a life spent trying to
improve the outcome
of human illness.
Green has written
it chronologically
from the beginning
Dr. Green
of his medical career,
including tales of the
physicians he works with, the patients
and their families, the background
details and all the descriptions of
places and people.
He takes you through the think-

ing process of making a diagnosis
and, surprisingly, he reveals when the
results of his thought process maybe
didn't go quite as expected.
Yes, he made errors but he learned
lessons from them all and is imparting
these lessons to the future physicians
that will care for all of us.
Green came to the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1958 and
retired as professor emeritus in 1995.
His specialty was internal medicine and
his subspecialty pulmonary disease.
He spent the majority of his profes-
sional career in teaching, patient care
and research.
The book is available from Huron
River Press (www.huronriverpress.
corn) in Ann Arbor and at book-
stores. Green will appear at the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit's Jewish Book Fair's local
author event from 10 a.m.-noon
Sunday, Nov. 8, at the JCC in West
Bloomfield. I 1

A Yoga Milestone

I

n the five years since Eric Paskel
and Steve Feldman made their
dream of yoga for everyone a
reality, 800,000 people have gone
through classes, seminars, retreats
and training at the Yoga Shelter in
West Bloomfield.
Four studios now operate under
the company name, with more in
the works. The Yoga Shelter is host-
ing an anniversary month with
events and special classes.
"What a journey it has been," says
Eric Paskel, the leader of the Sanga

yoga form of yoga practiced at the
Shelter. "And it continues to be.
In November, the Shelter will
host seminars, celebrations and dis-
counts (www.yogashelter.corn).
The Yoga Shelter was created
in 2004. Classes serve 14,000 stu-
dents monthly at four studios: in
Birmingham, Grosse Pointe, Royal
Oak and West Bloomfield.
Sanga yoga is the practice of the
community supporting each other
in physical, emotional and intellec-
tual evolution.
