Dr. David Weill spent 20 years as one of the world's pre-eminent heart and lung transplant surgeons. Some of his exploits are detailed in his memoir, Exhale: Hope, Healing and A Life in Transplant, which he wrote to preserve the amazing nature of transplant surgery, its successes and failures.

But as many authors have found, writing fiction from fact is incredibly freeing. Thus, his first novel, All That Really Matters, is a fictional account of Dr. Joe Bosco, a transplant surgeon based broadly on himself with clear differences--Dr. Bosco loses himself in his own arrogance fueled by alcohol and self-destructive behaviors. A disastrous operating room mistake almost ends his career but forces him to confront the question facing so many of us: What really matters in our lives?

This was a rare opportunity for a chat with a doctor who has seen the extreme highs and extreme lows of one of the most demanding and rewarding areas of medicine. Listen up!
