Old Man On Campus: A middle-aged engineer blunders into medicine, goes back to college at 58, and becomes a physician assistant.
Barry Brownstein is a physician assistant practicing in cardiology in Columbus, Ohio. Born in central New York State, his family later moved to Maryland, where he graduated as an engineer. After service in the air force and two graduate engineering degrees, he became an engineering manager. He and his wife Lindalee had three children and a mortgage the day they blundered into a open house for the new hospital in town. How he got from there to becoming a 60-year-old physician assistant who takes 9-1-1 runs in the middle of some nights is the subject of this book.  While many other aspects of life have changed around them, Barry and Lindalee continue to live happily in Columbus. Barry can be reached at old.man.on.campus.book@gmail.com.
