About the Book

In the midst of a fast-paced profession, it is increasingly a challenge to pause and reflect on where a person's life is heading. All can feel overwhelming. In these moments, when nothing seems stable, it can be instructive to pause and study individuals from previous generations who lived fully and left a lasting legacy. To find valuable lessons and perspective on the present, author Dr. Phillip Diller has often turned to man, citizen, writer, educator, and physician, Dr. Daniel Drake, who lived from 1785-1852.

Leaving a Legacy: Lessons from the Writings of Daniel Drake is a selective collection of excerpts from the vast writings from the nineteenth-century doctor and medical pioneer Daniel Drake. From Drake's life, documented here in his own words from excerpts of lectures, personal journal entries, presentations, speeches, books, and letters to his children, readers learn about the scope of his accomplishments in medicine, contributions to his community, and dedication to his family. Diller goes beyond biography to contextualize Drake's life choices and what made him a role model for today's physicians. Diller selected one hundred and eighty thematically arranged excerpts, which he paired with original reflection questions to guide the reader through thought-provoking prompts. In doing so, Diller presents the lessons from Drake's remarkable life and work as a guide for others who wish to build an enduring legacy.

Designed to appeal to early and mid-career professionals, particularly those in the medical field, Drake and Diller offer readers a way to enhance life with small actions that can leave a legacy in any community--professional or personal. Documented previously as a man whose life was remarkable for the breadth and depth of his professional accomplishments, Drake's countless contributions are showcased here to demonstrate the impact he truly had in his time and for generations to come. Engaging with Drake and Diller's thoughtful and principled voices provides a lasting perspective for those trying to find their purpose in the present.



About the Author: Philip M. Diller grew up in a small town in northwest Ohio where his father was a family physician and his mother an art teacher. He attended the College of Wooster (BA) and the University of Chicago (MD, PhD in Pathology). He completed his residency training in family medicine at the University of Cincinnati and has been on faculty at the UC college of Medicine since 1991. He served as Chair of the Department of Family and Community before assuming his current role as Senior Associate Dean for Educational Affairs. He practiced community family medicine for twenty-three years and now practices hospital palliative care medicine. He is an award-winning teacher who received the Exemplary Teacher of the Year in 2006 from the American Academy of Family Physicians. An avid medical historian, he serves as Chair of the UC Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions.
