Dr. Tom Schneider is no ordinary man. Raised in a borderline abusive family and brought up in a no-nonsense Catholic school environment, he managed to retain his sense of humor and mischief throughout high school and college. He served as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, then, despite an average-at-best work ethic when it came to scholarship, decided to give medical school a shot. That shot turned into a career that became his true calling and would span the rest of his life. With a humble, common-sense approach to health and wellness, he practiced medicine at the likes of Bethesda Naval Hospital, Harvard University, and the National Institutes of Health. He can hardly operate his cell phone, but he could remove your spleen with a ballpoint pen. He's put that pen to its more traditional use in A Physician's Apology, published in 2013, and his second book, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man, now newly published with a bonus epilogue as Surviving Life: The Art of Resilience.
