In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history.Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Plague Years: A Doctor’s Journey through the AIDS Crisis has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

A must read for anyone who has loved, lost, cared for, treated, or supported a friend or partner during the early days of the AIDS epidemic. I appreciate Ross Slotten's book as the perspective of a young gay physician treating HIV /AIDS patients and having to subsume his own fears and grief in doing so and the toll this eventually took on a physician that treated AIDS in the dark days of the 1980s and early 1990s. This is a perspective we have not seen enough of. I saw this toll with my partner Rob Darga, MD and it was tough - especially for physicians like my partner who was treating patients for AIDS and watching AIDs progress in his own body as well. Doctors that treated patients with AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s are our true heroes and we need to read their stories of hope and survival as encouragement in our current crisis era that we can fight back and we can survive as an LBGTQ people.
