Dr. Rosenbaum regularly sought out and cajoled the best experts to contribute to his popular book series. One expert, Regina Benjamin, went on to become the 18th Surgeon General of the United States. Like Dr. Benjamin, many of Ernie's contributors flourished in their respective fields so we thought it made sense to reach out and ask for an update and interview the authors. We start with Rosenbaum friend and colleague, Dr. David Spiegel.
