Elation turns to fear as the young doctor steps into the rundown clinic sixty years ago.
Where just being alive was a great adventure..
Where doing what was right was more important than doing what was politically correct.
Where Life was simpler.
For the ride of your life, come fly with him back in time to an era where the Wild West was still wild, where cowboys and miners settled their disputes with fists, broken beer bottles, and six-guns.
His patients become his family-honest to a fault, tough beyond reason, and, at times, hysterically funny without trying to be.
He delivers babies and performs emergency surgery in midflight with only Sam, his fellow pilot, or his plane\'s autopilot as his assistant.
He lands on makeshift runways (dirt roads and two-lane blacktops) at accident scenes, at times in the dead of night with only a highway patrolman\'s car headlights to guide him.
He makes house calls at remote ranches.
A plane becomes an integral part of his practice.
He is a pilot.
But he has an edge.
He, with his limited skills and experience, is the only thing standing between Life and death for the severely injured and critically ill.
All the helpful specialists are in a hospital 125 miles away.
As he opens the door to the clinic, reality strikes-he is alone.
On a whim, he decides to begin his medical career at a small remote town in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
He is twenty-six years old, a graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago with its hordes of specialists and well-equipped hospitals.
