Dr David Cohen is a dentist. He is also a grandpa, a motorcyclist, a pescetarian, an advanced motorist, an offshore boat captain, and a pilot who has no head for heights.

One other thing - he is a collector. His collections are many and varied, some quite unusual, but the one that's most relevant here is a life-long gathering of anecdotes. These have sprung from his college days and work life, in which a patient of colleague might take the lead role, such as the unfortunate lady patient he was accused of murdering; they have evolved from his many business trips, describing some pretty hair-raising possibilities, including being eaten alive by giant lizards in the desert scape of Arizona, and finding himself engulfed in the flames of a burning hotel when he slept through the fire alarm on the umpteenth floor.

As you will discover, his travels on life's crazy-paved path have provided him with many tales to tell, and when he has regaled those he met along the way with these little stories, every one of which is true, some have told him, "Oh, you should write a book!"

And so, he did.
