Through Dr. Steven Payne, the author gives insight into the training, rewards and tribulations of a general surgeon practicing at a community hospital. For the author, Jimmy's truck presents a metaphor for the journey and evening trains for destinations unknown. Naturalist and writer Jack Phillips offered that \"freedom and wildness are found by a particular way of walking that Thoreau refers to as 'sauntering', which is not walking for exercise or to reach a destination, neither is it aimless\". The journeys in this book don't take the characters far from where they are first seen as they saunter through the ever-changing, often difficult, terrain they encounter. The terrain covered in this book includes a diverse cast of characters with a menagerie of illnesses and life stories. It attempts to give insight into the care given them, and is a tribute to the characters themselves and to those who care for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256085004537,"sku":"9781387584529","price":27.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Kz-sk-CSWX9781387584529_03623d8f-19c3-4bee-bfbf-0dc668541e01.webp?v=1768730971","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/jimmy-mccarthys-truck-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
