Take a Deep Breath

These are the adventures Dr. Anthony B. Wilde, a peripatetic anesthesiologist, exploring strange countries, seeking out new cultures and new friends - boldly passing gas and wry wit on his way.

After a strange call in the middle of the night, Tony leaves his tranquil, verdant, idyllic gentleman's farm on the Otago Peninsula, on the south island of New Zealand - saying bye to seals, penguins, and albatrosses he calls friends - to head for the premier medical hospital and research center in Saudi Arabia. People from a hundred different countries live on the hospital's compound - a hub for adventurers, life savers, people looking for something and hiding something. A stranger with two buckets, in an arid land of sand, gold, free spirits and veils that hide more than a pretty face.
