The impetus for the creation of the book was based on Dr. Hall’s experiences  while living in NYC. Disillusioned with so much of what he witnessed, he asked a question: what made a gentleman different than other men? Is it possible to form a “state of the character”? Through his research, Dr. Hall believes he learned ancient wisdom and discovered a gentleman almost always must stand up for what he believes is right, regardless of the consequences. So much of his practice of medicine and his bedside manner are derived from his training at the The New York Hospital – Cornell Weill Medical Center. However difficult his lessons, these actions transformed his career and his life path, the book is intended to create dialogue and educate the reader.
