Victims, the Virus, and the Ventilator - Paperback

Dr. Gilmore is a retired infectious disease specialist living in Minneapolis, MN. He is the happy father of four sons (one who tragically died in infancy) and five grandchildren. Dr. Gilmore is a joyous member of Third Way Church in St. Paul, MN, and an advocate for peacemaking and justice.

In addition to Victims, The Virus, and The Ventilator, this pediatric infectious disease consultant and author has written four books of poetry from his more than 800 poems (Wisdom of the Weeping Widow, Love and Lust-filled Lullabies, Bullies and Their Prey, and Warring Tides-the first two are available on the Internet. His writing career began composing poems while he had a prolonged hospital stay for sepsis and newly diagnosed leukemia in 2016. He has had a difficult life journey punctuated by tragedy and saving miracles, which undergird and guide his writing. Still, he is sustained by his faith and hope with the support of his friends and family. His autobiography should become available in 2024 called The Diary of a Dead Man: One Man's Gauntlet Through Life.
