Welcome Home From Vietnam, Finally
After forty-five years, Gus Kappler has published his recollection and analysis of the experience as a trauma surgeon at the 85th Evacuation Hospital, Phu Bai, Vietnam ’70-’71. Welcome Home From Vietnam, Finally is a truthful accounting of war’s devastating effects on body, mind, and soul. All lives enmeshed within the Vietnam War, as any other combat zone, have been to some extent scarred irreparably.<br /><br />Is the Hippocratic Oath rewritten in a combat zone when abiding by the moral code of war, not peace? The fact is warriors, corpsmen, nurses, and physicians usually existed and functioned within a moral limbo, vacillating between both the moral codes of peace and war. In Vietnam, when I triaged a mass causality in the ED, I condemned the very most seriously wounded, who may have been salvageable, to death in order to treat others with a better prognosis.<br /><br />Is it intellectually honest for the public to apply and therefore judge a warrior’s actions by the moral code of peace, while safe at home, as the warrior is fighting to stay alive and being guided by the moral code of war: the concept of justified killing versus murder?<br /><br />For years I attempted to rationalize my actions in Vietnam, some of which were immoral by the stateside moral code of peace, and to modify my complete disdain for the Vietnamese. Time did soften my war-zone feelings. A chance meeting with a brilliant Vietnamese medical student completed my exoneration.<br /><br />Today, I’m finally home. Not welcomed by our ungrateful citizens but by the steadfastness of my wife’s support and my self-generated efforts to become resurrected from my mental morass.<br /><br />My wish is to relate a truthful accounting of war and equip the reader in their better understanding of its aftermath and how easily we in recent years have ignored these historical lessons.

Monsoon Medicine
My adventure with Monsoon Medicine: A Diary of a Canadian Medicine Woman & Tales of a Bengali Doctor starts with an anxiety-filled arrival at the Kolkata (Calcutta) Dum Dum Airport. The question is, «Will I ever get through this grueling waiting line and pass the health screening process in the midst of the H1N1 flu pandemic to see the Bengali family I have longed to visit?» My experience since arrival has inspired me to keep a diary filled with my emotions, whether up or down, cutting edge medical cases, and the daily flow of seeing a vast number of patients in the lush tropical Jungle Village of Thakurnagar, West Bengal located near India's Bangladesh border. This action packed medical adventure will keep any homeopathic doctor on the edge of their seat, detailed with secrets written by a Grand Master of homeopathy who provides clinical tips and long lost keynotes that come to life with each unique medical encounter. Coincidentally, the clinical setting is perfect for spiritual and Ayurvedic lessons that have been passed down by sages and rishis through the centuries. At times I see patients with Dr. Sarkar, a world famous homeopathic medical doctor. Surprisingly, at times, Dr. Sarkar’s elderly mother, Bithika, steps in as my translator, as is the case of The Man Who Was Injured After Being Stepped on by a Cow. My diary tells all!
Charlie's Heart
There are vast amounts of information about the recommended ways to recover from heart surgery and thousands of people who have triumphed and are now living examples of that success. There are few books about me. The guy who went through the trauma of this operation and now gets up every morning determined to have a great day and get closer to good heart health; yet all too often comes up short.
This book is about my continuing journey through quadruple bypass heart surgery, recovery and life beyond. It is not about how well I have done or successful I have been. It is about my experiences; some serious, some funny, but all with a lesson.
I hope you find valuable lessons that make your journey easier and more successful....Charlie
