The Man with the Iron Tattoo and Other True Tales of Uncommon Wisdom is a highly personal account of 13 medical cases by two doctors who were profoundly changed by the patients they treated. In these first-person stories, we follow Drs. Castaldo and Levitt as eager young medical students, as colleagues and mentors, and, especially, as physicians who care for patients with life-threatening diseases. Throughout, the book reveals the “uncommon wisdom” these doctors learn from their patients in the realms of love, faith, forgiveness and healing.
