Escape from Chaos (ePub)

Dr. Merrill’s family were pioneers of the Seventh Day Adventist Colony in Eel
Rock, California, in 1933. Eel Rock is located above the banks of the majestic
North Fork of the Eel River, about twenty miles upriver from its junction with
the South Fork at Dyersville.
Because of the educational limitations of this sparsely populated rural
area, the Merrill’s moved to Myers Flat on the more populous South Fork of
the Eel in 1958.
Dr. Merrill graduated from the South Fork High School in 1955 and
received a BA in Physiology from the University of California at Berkeley,
four years later. When Dr. Merrill graduated from the University of Southern
California Medical School in 1963, he became the first person from Southern
Humboldt County to become a medical doctor.
After completing his internship and a year of surgical residency in
California, Dr. Merrill moved to Minnesota, where he performed his Urology
Residency under the late Don Creevy at the University of Minnesota Health
Sciences Center in Minneapolis. He completed a National Institutes of
Health Special Fellowship in Urology in 1969 and joined the university’s
Urology faculty in 1971.
In 1973, Dr. Merrill was recruited by the University of California at
Davis to administer their Urology Residency program at the Veterans
Administration Medical Center in Martinez, California. Dr. Merrill served
as chief of Urology at that institution until its closure in 1991. Dr. Merrill and
his wife, Tina, have two daughters. They have lived in the Bay Area for the
past thirty-nine years.
Dr. Merrill has written numerous books and articles pertaining to the
field of urology and several books on subjects not related to the medical field,
as noted in the last pages of this book. This is his first work of fiction.
