About the author
Keith Dahlberg, MD is a graduate of Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University. He took his residency at Denver's Presbyterian Hospital combining a year each of general medicine, OB/GYN, and general surgery. Under the American Baptist Churches International Ministries, he served in Burma (now Myanmar) for five years as physician and surgeon at their hospital in Kengtung. When Burma closed to foreigners in 1963, he and his family transferred to Thailand to open a new hospital for hill tribe people at Maesariang. He has worked a total of ten years in Thailand, at Maesariang and at Kwai River Christian Hospital at Sangklaburi. In 1967 he entered family practice in Shoshone County, Idaho, at first in a six-member partnership, later in solo practice. He returned to Thailand for another four year term from 1977 - 8l. He retired from office practice in 1994 at age 65, and continued part-time practice for another ten years as a "locum tenens" supplying doctor's offices, emergency rooms, and hospitals needing a temporary doctor, across nine states plus further work in Thailand, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea. He has focused his fifty-year career on family practice for those who have financial or geographic difficulty finding adequate medical care. He and his wife Lois reside in Kellogg, Idaho. They have four adult children and nine grandchildren. This is his fourth published book.
