Osiek was Chief Surgeon, Pasadena Emergency Hospital and a member of the California Medical Association. Robert S. Richardson was a popular science writer, possibly the ghost writer of this book. Inscribed to the Turett Family, whose identity I have been unable to determine. Paul Henry Osiek was the son of Henry Osiek, a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and the sister of Alvina Osiek, longtime staff member of Loma Linda University. He was educated at Nebraska's Shelton Academy, Pacific Union College near San Francisco, and Loma Linda University. "The Emergency Hospital [of Pasadena] is the clearing-house for the troubles of a city. Rich and poor, strong and weak, the innocent and the guilty--eventually the surgeon at the Emergency Hospital comes to know them all. His life is a part of their lives. His role is not to criticize, or punish, or point the way. He seeks only to help. In this record of the troubled years since the bank holiday of 1933, we have sought to described the life of a city, not at its best or worst, but as it actually happens from one day to the next."
