Title: Physical: An American Checkup

Author: James McManus

Narrator: Patrick Frederic

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:45:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-05

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Genres: Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases

Summary:

A wild ride through the dark heart of American health and health care, plus sex, drugs, and stem-cell wars.

PHYSICAL is the story of a hard-living, happily married, middle-aged American (the author) who gets a three-day 'executive checkup' at the Mayo Clinic and is thereby forced to confront his mortality, not to mention glove-wearing doctors and the pair of dominatrix-esque technicians who supervise his stress test quite strictly. James McManus must understand his revised actuarial odds in the light of his not-so-long-lived forebears and the fact that his youngest children are only six and five years old. He has to survive his own cardiovascular system, inherited habits, and genetic handicaps long enough to see Bea and Grace into adulthood. But with so much at stake, and in spite of his terror of death, he may not have the willpower to follow the Mayo clinicians' advice.

On a related health front, McManus's twenty-nine-year-old daughter, Bridget, has lived with juvenile diabetes since she was four, and the Bush Administration's opposition to the stem-cell research that could save her life makes him feel like he 'might have to do something rash.' Meanwhile, should he have a vasectomy? Or try for another child, having lost his only son? How much longer will he be able to perform such manly feats without Viagra? Is his grateful wife sleeping with the brilliant opthalmological surgeon who saved their daughter's vision?

PHYSICAL negotiates the political and medical forks in the labyrinth of our health care system and calls for sanity and enlightenment in the stem-cell research wars. It's a no-holds-barred, wrenching, often hilarious portrait of the looming mortality of a privileged generation that can't believe the party's winding down, if not over.

Summary:

Charley Hunter broke the biggest story in golf history.

The young law student unearthed the life and career of the greatest player who never lived, and then spent years successfully attempting to bring Beau Stedman’s story to light. His actions did not go unnoticed.

Now, it is time for Charley to put the whole experience behind him…pass the bar, learn the ropes at the new firm, and settle into a promising legal career. But he’s been receiving these intriguing notes attached to clipped obituaries that have caught hold of his curiosity. Charley knows that he has to focus on his future, but the old man has promised so much.

The old man is Moonlight McIntyre, an eccentric old caddie from Augusta National, and his promise is one that he can’t possibly keep. Charley has heard that the old man is crazy…delusional, but Moonlight claims he can reward the young lawyer’s faith by disclosing unrivaled stories that he would be the first to hear. And, in the process, they would unearth the Atlantis of the golden age of golf. “Secrets,” Moonlight said, “were easier to keep back then.”

How can Charley believe the eccentric old man with a story that no one else is able to vouch for, when he’s got briefs piling up on his desk that demand his attention? He can’t just pick up and trek across the country in search of what might be one of the biggest stories in sports history. There may not be a career waiting for him when he gets back.

But there is something about Moonlight that he can’t resist…
