This is the thrilling true story of how a small group of determined individuals transformed a fringe idea into a global necessity. As the world grapples with the challenges of healthcare, this novelized account takes readers on a journey through the courageous, conflict-ridden, and ultimately triumphant history of telemedicine.

Step into the setting of 1960s Boston, where a moonlighting doctor's desperate workaround to traffic led to a medical revolution. But this was no easy feat - the founders faced opposition from sheriffs, state boards, and tech-resistant academics who believed their telemedicine company was breaking the law.

With virtually no money in his pocket, Michael went off to college and earned degrees in Physics, Engineering and Law - all while working full time. He worked 11 years as an engineer in corporate America and is now a serial entrepreneur who has founded 15 companies. Amongst those are notables: Internet Global, Palo Duro Records and Teladoc, now the world’s largest telemedicine company. Michael has been a prolific writer, authoring technical articles on a wide range of topics including Internet, power systems, remote metering and disconnect, solar, electric vehicles, healthcare, telemedicine, astronomy, physics and music.

Broken Handoff was Michael's first business book. It was the amalgamation of three decades as an entrepreneur developing companies. The two authors bring a wealth of new perspectives that addresses one of the biggest problems in funding and M&A events. Broken Handoff was named the #1 M&A book in 2019 by Book Authority and has been in the Top 10 on �鶹��'s chart.

Forefathers & Founding Fathers, Michael’s 4th novel, earned several awards, and reached the #1 slot in Historic Fiction on �鶹��'s chart. The first four: USSA, Lex Talionis, and Born Again American were all written for fun with the intent of giving copies to a small group of friends and family. That was in fact the goal with Forefathers, but while researching the topic, Gorton realized this was an important and unknown story that needed to be heard. Forefathers has received positive reviews from some of the world's best-known authors, including bestselling author Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Jim Stovall (The Ultimate Gift).

Digital Medical Home was Gorton's second business book, and became a best seller in 9 categories, and won several awards. The book tells the history of telemedicine, beginning in 1968 with the Father of Telemedicine, Jay Sanders, MD, and continuing through Teladoc becoming the preeminent telemedicine platform during Covid.

Tachyon Tunnel was Michael's first science fiction novel, and that book won awards, and reached best seller status. The sequel to Tachyon Tunnel is The Daklin Empire, which is likely to become one of the classic works of science fiction.

Michael is a runner, martial artist and mountain climber. He and his family are currently climbing the highest points of elevation in the fifty states. They have 43 done.

Michael is an 11th generation descendant of Samuel Gorton. His lineage is: Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Benjamin, Amos, Oliver, Guy, Dayton, DeForest, Everett (dad).

A Gripping, Inspiring Origin Story of Telemedicine
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2025

Telemedicine Wars is a fast-paced, engaging read that blends fact and fiction to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how virtual care was born. Drawing from real-life experiences of Teladoc’s founders, the book captures the decades-long fight against regulators, skeptics, and the healthcare establishment.

The characters are compelling, the stakes feel real, and the story is both timely and deeply human. Whether you're in healthcare, tech, or just love a good underdog story, this book delivers.

Highly recommended for anyone curious about how bold ideas reshape the world.

Change is hard and is always met with resistance, but the events that transpired border on ridiculous.
