Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Doctor to the Mouse: Updated Stories from a Walt Disney World PhysicianBy Anthony M. Rizzo, M.D.In Doctor to the Mouse, Dr. Anthony Rizzo invites readers behind the literal curtain of 'The Most Magical Place on Earth,' offering a rare, clinical, and often surprising perspective on the inner workings of Walt Disney World. As a former active-duty Air Force surgeon turned Disney Executive and occupational physician, Rizzo's narrative bridges the gap between high-stakes medicine and the meticulous art of 'the show'.Through a series of fascinating vignettes, Rizzo pulls back the veil on the physical and psychological toll of 'being the magic'. Readers are treated to an insider's tour of iconic attractions-from the hidden elevators of the Haunted Mansion and the physics-defying drops of the Tower of Terror to the hazardous, high-speed costume changes in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid. With a physician's eye for 'mechanisms of injury,' Rizzo details the weight of Belle's fifty-pound gold ball gown and the punishing physical demands placed on the petite performers who bring Mickey and Minnie to life.Beyond the operating rooms and backstage 'zoos,' Rizzo provides a candid look at the friction between creative ambition and engineering reality, the complex ethics of corporate 'exclusive' contracts, and the often-bizarre behavior of celebrities and guests alike. Doctor to the Mouse is more than just a collection of 'Disney trivia'; it is a deeply human tribute to the individuals who maintain the illusion of magic while enduring real-world challenges. Whether he is treating a terminal child's 'dying wish' or navigating the secret tunnels beneath the Magic Kingdom, Rizzo proves that the real magic isn't in the pyrotechnics, but in the people.The cast is the magic!
