This week's guest has been so inspired by the life and accomplishments of one man that he wrote a book about him. Courage to Heal is the fictionalized account of the life of Dr. Sidney Garfield, who changed medicine forever.

Please join Paul Bernstein and host Paula B. as they discuss:

Why he wrote it in the first person

How he did his research

Whether he stayed perfectly true to the facts

Why most of the book is dialogue
