Mayor Billy does Books


The 2011 Books Sandwiched In series begins with "Doctor K: A Personal Memoir," reviewed by the son of Doctor K, the Honorable Billy Keyserling, Mayor of Beaufort, SC.
A personal memoir of a Lowcountry family Doctor.
These tales of the Sea Islands (especially of the 1950's, 1960's) are a world away from our 21st century gated communities.
Office visits: $2, house calls: $3.
Birthing was often a stay-at-home event and involved boiling water. The good Doctor K reported at least one cat eyeing the afterbirth in a collection basin.
The Beaufort County ambulance service was a used hearse driven by NASCAR wannabes.
Doctor K kept watch out of his office window for his children while they sailed.
