DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael C. Klein was the Director of the Jewish General Hos
 pital Department of Family Practice and the Herzl Family Practice Centre f
 rom 1975-1991. \n	\n	In Dissident Doctor\, Michael C. Klein intersperses fas
 cinating tales of individual cases with formative elements of his personal
  life. As the son of American left-wing activists\, he grew up singing fol
 k songs about justice and racial equality\; as a young doctor his refusal 
 to serve as a military physician during the Vietnam War prompted his immig
 ration to Canada. His early experience working with midwives in Ethiopia—d
 elivering babies using techniques for natural pain relief and without rout
 ine episiotomy—were formative\, leading him to question many standard but 
 unjustified procedures in Western maternity care. He made many unconventio
 nal decisions as a result of his focus on humane medicine\, transitioning 
 from a specialization in pediatrics and newborn care to become a family ph
 ysician\, and embracing midwifery before it was approved in Canada. Klein’
 s determination in the face of great opposition\, the strength of his conv
 ictions\, and his humility and sense of humour drive this powerful story o
 f a life and career dedicated to his patients and his principles.\n	\n	For f
