DR. LEE F. WALTERS, MD, FACP, is a recently retired infectious disease physician. His educational journey began at Davidson College in Charlotte, NC. He went on to graduate from the University of Virginia Medical School and interned there as well. This was followed by a medical residency at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, a fellowship in infectious disease at the University of Vermont, and over two decades of practice as an infectious disease specialist in Phoenix, Arizona. Lee went on to complete two more decades of practice on the East Coast, finishing his career in North Carolina with Atrium Health System in Charlotte. This is Lee's third book. His first book, Rescues from the Sky (2020) recounts his dramatic adventures in medical rescues while stationed at the US Coast Guard air station in San Francisco. His second book, Contagion Chaser, details his transition from saving lives at sea to becoming an infectious disease "detective." Lee now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his wife. They have four daughters and six grandchildren. See less
