Synopsis
In March 2005, Dr. Steven Berk was kidnapped in Amarillo, Texas, by a dangerous and enigmatic criminal. Dr. Berk’s experiences and training, especially his understanding of Sir William Osler’s treatise on aequanimitas, enabled him to keep his family safe, establish rapport with his kidnapper, and bring his captor to justice. This harrowing story is not just about a kidnapping. It is a story about patients, about physicians, and about what each experience has taught Berk about life and death, mistakes, family, the practice of medicine, and the physician-patient relationship.

Review
One moment in [Berk's] life is ultimately decided by a lifetime of experience as a dedicated physician and teacher. Truly a harrowing, wonderful, and ultimately redepmtive tale. -- Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone "[prepublication blurb]"
