Born in Vancouver, Peter Hanson got his MD degree at age 24 which began at age 14 with comedy monologues on live TV. He became an emergency room physician for 3 years before he established his own family practice where he delivered over 1000 babies, made over 5000 house calls and saw the effects of stress on his many patients¿ He was particularly inspired by his patients who were able to thrive with good management choices to live long healthy lives. This is the essence of this presentation.
