The Good Doctor Is Naked

Don't say a word. Bobby Barnes was ten the day his father shot himself and the first lesson he learned about it was that he should never tell a soul because people might reject him. From that day forward he hid his secret behind a series of masks--the mask of the Eagle Scout the wise doctor community and church leader--and feared that one day his mask would be torn off and he would be naked amid his humiliation and self-doubt. This is the story of a man who achieved the outward signs of success but yearned for inner peace. It took Bob Barnes many years and an unexpected turn of events to discover himself and realize the true meaning of his life. Read his story and you will learn that doctors are human; they are susceptible to emotional pain and doubts about their profession.
