Summary

  • I am a board certified electrophysiologist and was an associate professor of medicine and chief of electrophysiology at Loma Linda University Medical center. I now work in medical compliance and am an author of two books-Cardiac Dilemma: Navigating Your Heart Disease for Positive Results, and a fictional medical thriller called Transfusion. I am now working on a third historical novel called Defibrillator.
