Morarji PeesayAs an experienced neonatologist taking care of premature infants, Dr. Morarji Peesay (Dr. MP) noticed the impact fathers can have on the wellbeing of mothers and babies during deliveries. Fathers being absent in the delivery room has become a common ncident, and the silence speaks volumes. During his career, Dr. Peesay has noticed too many cases where maternal and neonatal complications could have been minimized by just the presence of the baby's father, which is backed by the medical research. In his own life, Dr. Peesay faced the absence of his father and suffers from absent-father syndrome, which inspired him to do research and publish this book so that others can reflect on their lives and share it with others. Absent-father syndrome seems to affect the rich and poor, educated or illiterate, male or female, animals and humans alike. Dr. Peesay lives with his family in Maryland. He has published two medical books and iPhone apps on absent fathers and many other medical educational materials in iPhone app formats. He is actively involved in helping underprivileged kids cope with absent fathers. Read More Read Less
