Dr. Andrew Lam has forged an intriguing dual career. The first is in
medicine, as a retinal surgeon with New England Retina Consultants, an
attending surgeon at Baystate Medical Center, and an assistant professor
of Ophthalmology at UMass Medical School. But he’s also turned his
lifelong passion for history into four acclaimed books: two in the realm
of historical fiction, and two nonfiction works about the
often-surprising lives behind modern medical advances. On the next
installment of BusinessTalk, Dr. Lam talks with BusinessWest Editor Joe
Bednar about his latest work, The Masters of Medicine, and how he
goes about bringing history to life on the page — when he’s not helping
patients salvage and improve their sight, that is.
It’s must listening, so tune in to BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by
BusinessWest and sponsored by PeoplesBank.
