Book Talk with Dr. Anthony Goodman

Longtime Santa Barbara resident, Dr. Anthony Goodman, will discuss his new book, Great Saves and Terrible Losses: The Journeys of a Surgeon. This riveting memoir follows Dr. Goodman through a career that took him around the world, through his retirement from the practice of surgery and into his second career as a professor and author. He reveals his approach to coping with his mild Alzheimer’s diagnosis, as not only a patient but now as a well-educated MD with a steep curve learning about the ever-changing nature of this disease, its impact as well as pathology, and options for management.
