Doctor-Patient Relationships - WHYY's Voices in the Family
A story can teach many lessons, and listening to another person's story can offer powerful insights into their lives. John Castaldo and Lawrence Levitt, two neurologists from Lehigh Valley Hospital, have written "The Man with the Iron Tattoo: What our Patients have taught us about Love, Faith, Forgiveness and Healing".
