About the Authors

A physician with more than 30 years of ER experience, Dr. Robert Lesslie (1951 – 2021) most recently served as the medical director of a local hospice program. A bestselling author, he has several books to his name (including Angels in the ER—over 250,000 copies sold), as well as human interest stories and columns for magazines and newspapers. A fixture in his community, Dr. Lesslie developed two urgent care facilities in South Carolina, a state he and his wife, Barbara, called home for many years.

Robert Alexander has been a full-time practicing pediatrician since 1982 and has served as Chief of the medical staff at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He has also served on the Bioethics Committee of the South Carolina Medical Association and speaks regularly on the subject. Robert and his wife, Jeanie, have three adult sons and eight grandchildren.
