Extraordinary Tales

Some among us live lives of prominence and significance. But it is rare that one experiences and achieves such a broad range of remarkable accomplishments and has so much fun doing it.

Author David P. Jacobson, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon, a record-holding big game hunter, a prankster, a painter-sculptor, and an adventurist medical volunteer who married very well and helped raise a happy, adventurous, and curious family.

Enjoy his recollections and life stories, which include a mischievous youth in rural Pennsylvania, an unusual and remarkable journey of education, serving his country as a young doctor on a Native reservation, and inspiring and harrowing volunteering adventures, including as a combat surgeon during the Russian Afghan War.

Jacobson's previous work, Hunter's Tales - The Real-life Adventures of a Lifelong Hunter, is a collection of stories and accounts of recreational and big game hunting in North America.
