Bestselling author Samuel Shem joins show! Shem is the author of The House of God — an autobiographical novel which has sold millions of copies and what The Washington Post listed as one of the “12 Novels that Change the Way We Live”. And, John Updike wrote the novel “does for medical training what ‘Catch-22’ did for the military life.” We discuss Shem's journey to Harvard and how he balanced being a doctor and becoming a writer.
