Doncha Freeman - HEADS: A Neurosurgeon's Memoir - Gables
In HEADS: A Neurosurgeon's Memoir (Booksurge, $13.99), Doncha Freeman tells the story of several rather spectacular years in the life of world-class neurosurgeon, Bernard R. Lerner. An iconoclast to the core, a product of a liberal generation, Lerner’s surgical skills are in full bloom when his carefully constructed world crashes around him in the decade of decadence, the 1980s. Encouraged by the FBI, Lerner becomes involved in an undercover sting. Obsessed as he is with saving lives, the good doctor chooses to continue “cutting.” He is indicted on suspicious drug felony charges and then sentenced to three and a half years in a Federal Prison Camp. We get an in depth look at the daily life of those inside the federal prison system, housing white-collar felons, who become Lerner’s friends and patients. After more than a year of incarceration, Lerner is released because of an “error” in his legal papers. Running from the top of his game to the depths of despair, and through an atypical and passionate love story, comes Bernard Lerner’s tale. 6:30pm
