Two emotions have defined the life of Dr. Steven Diamond: his desire to overcome the limitations of childhood polio and his great love of medicine. In this stirring memoir, he writes of his own ambitions, his struggles with the post-polio symptoms that crippled his career, and his life at the cutting edge of 20th century medicine.
“Dr. Steven Diamond tells a dramatic story that comes, as it has for many polio survivors, full circle.”
Lauro S. Halstead, M.D.
