Robert Adams, MD, MBA, of Knightdale Family Medicine — part of the UNC Physicians Network — was featured on the Peer Spectrum Podcast to discuss his book “Six Days of the Impossible: Navy SEAL Hell Week, a Doctor Looks Back.” Adams entered medical school after serving as an elite Navy SEAL for 12 years.

Adams brings the experiences of his classmates into view with real, difficult to believe experiences, described in frightening detail by the men that lived through the frigid cold, filthy muddy days, and body destroying events of a winter Hell Week. Eleven of seventy men went on to graduate and serve over 40 years.

Colonel Robert Adams, MD, MBA served fourteen years in the Navy (12 as a SEAL) and eighteen years in the Army. He changed services to attend medical school.
