GREEN BAY, Wis. - eTradeWire -- Healthcare has been in Peter Fergus's professional genes since birth. His father was a Hungarian-born psychiatrist, his mother a psychiatric nurse, and together they hid his father's Jewish heritage from their children out of an abundance of caution until they were teenagers. Dr. Fergus went on to forge an entrepreneurial career as a cardiologist, all of which he shares in his new autobiography, A Life Worth Living: A Cardiologist's Historical Memoir (M&B Global Solutions Inc.)

Dr. Fergus describes the harrowing path his father's family endured in escaping the antisemitism and danger to Jews in pre-World War II Hungary. Their experience, along with the conflicting personality traits of close family, played a significant role in Dr. Fergus's personal and professional growth.

His father's commitment to developing an innovative psychiatric procedure encouraged a similar progressive mindset in his son. Dr. Fergus's philosophy of preventive treatment of heart disease and promoting maintenance of a healthy heart ran contrary to the more revenue-producing medical business models prevalent during much of his career.

The book follows a success journey that features personal and professional challenges, illustrating the perseverance required to navigate life regardless of one's background and resources. Dr. Fergus proved that physicians who are progressive in their advocacy of preventive care strategies have a place in a healthcare industry largely defined by large organizations and rigid structure.
