Bestselling author Samuel Shem joins show! Shem is the author of The House of God — an autobiographical novel which has sold millions of copies and what The Washington Post listed as one of the “12 Novels that Change the Way We Live”. And, John Updike wrote the novel “does for medical training what ‘Catch-22’ did for the military life.” We discuss Shem's journey to Harvard and how he balanced being a doctor and becoming a writer. Plus, BEST OF ALL, we talk about his new novel MAN’S 4TH BEST HOSPITAL - the sequel to The House of God. *GROSS ANATOMY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
