Description
Barney Kincaid, M.D., loves women. He loves loving women. Everything he knows about himself he has learned from women. Brilliant doctor--pioneer in Emergency Medicine--and irascible watchdog of his hospital, loving father, ambivalent devoted only son, here is Barney at 42. Just escaped from a numbing marriage, Barney is caught up in the drama of high risk medicine and his glorious second adolescence, a great lover who has never been in love.
Ecstatically he divides his time between Debra Teiger, his irrepressible playmate-in-kinkiness, and Lindsay, the wholesome WASP woman of his dreams.
Then, suddenly, he is forced to confront his own mortality. What seems like a heart attack isn't. The diagnosis is reassuring but the shock of recognition sends Barney off on a voyage into his erotic past, a frenetic odyssey that almost destroys his career.
