About the Author Kevin Glynn, MD, is a senior physician with Scripps Health in La Jolla, California, where he also served as chief of pulmonary medicine and medical director of respiratory care at Scripps Mercy Hospital. His thirty years of treating respiratory disorders combined with his personal experience as an asthma sufferer uniquely qualify him to tell the story of breathing. The former editor of the San Diego Physician, and widely published in nationally circulated journals, Dr. Glynn was also recognized for his contributions as a bedside teacher, receiving the Award for Sustained Excellence in Teaching at Scripps Mercy – and it is this ability as a teacher that renders his writing so compelling. A cartoonist who drew gags for the San Diego County Medical Society magazine and self- syndicated them to other journals, after retirement it came down to resuming cartooning or writing a book. With so much to share, Dr. Glynn decided to write. Dr. Glynn lives in La Jolla with his wife. When not writing, playing golf, or participating in community projects through Rotary International, he spends his time cheering on his grandchildren at their soccer games. About the Book Comprehensive, easily understood, and eminently readable, Kevin Glynn, MD’s GASPING FOR AIR provides readers with an understanding of the evolution of pulmonary health – the threats to it, what we can do to avoid those threats, and the progress science has made in ensuring that in our ever more mobile, ever more polluted world, we do not end up GASPING FOR AIR. GASPING FOR AIR is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
