With the confidence gained from publishing his first book and seeing it's positive impact, Dr. Sherer decided to write another book. This time the book was based on a personal life story, and he turned it into a memoir, "The House of Black and White: My Life With and Search for Louise Johnson Morris." Louise Johnson Morris was a black maid to his family and David’s caregiver and friend. Louise was part of David’s family for
many years.
During his 27 years of experience as an anesthesiologist, Dr. Sherer witnessed many patients struggling during their hospital stay. They were confused puzzled and very unhappy.
With the hope of bringing peace of mind to his
patients, he wrote his first book called
"Dr. David Sherer’s Hospital Survival Guide:
100 + Ways to Make Your Hospital Stay Safe
and Comfortable."
His book made an impact in the medical community and was ranked as, "One of the Best 5 Books on Health", by the Wall Street Journal. Due to the book's success he is frequently asked to speak to different communities on hospital safety and care.
When Louise Johnson Morris decided to move out and leave the family home, he was very busy with the high demand of his medical school. After 31 years of not hearing about Louise, Dr. Sherer decided it is time to find her. He was able to reconnect and spend a short time with her. She died 3 months later.
There are many reasons why he wrote the book and one of them is to inspire people to reconnect with their loved ones; be it friends or people who influenced them before it’s too late. His other reason is to shed some light on race issues by bringing awareness and inspiring people of different races and cultures to come together under love and kindness.
Unstoppable as he is, Dr. Sherer recently experienced the joy and growth of learning and understanding of a new culture, during his medical mission in Tanzania, where he worked for two weeks along with his wife.
