In Assume the Position: Memoirs of an Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Richard M. Houck ’71 places the reader in the shoes of an ob-gyn and in the stirrups of a patient. With vignettes from his years as an obstetrician and gynecologist, Houck covers topics ranging from medical malpractice, labor and delivery, and Obamacare to women’s healthcare in one of Africa’s poorest countries.
