Dr. Tom Harbin Narrates an Eye-opening True Story About the Politics and Dark Side of Medicine

In “Waking Up Blind: Lawsuits Over Eye Surgery,” the author tells a shocking story of how an admired and respected eye surgeon caused an array of medical problems for his patients and how the incidents ultimately brought a public scandal in the medical field.

In his book, Tom Harbin, MD reveals the harrowing truth of hospital politics that allow the series of events to turn from worse to worst. He says he wrote this book because of his involvement in some events and how he “witnessed the destruction of the academic careers of two courageous faculty members who spoke up to try to prevent damage to patients.” Because of this, he wishes to set the records straight and hopefully bring redemption to the two doctors and their reputation.

“Waking Up Blind” is a gripping story told in a novel-like manner wherein the author uncovers wrongdoing and secrets as every event unfolds. He supports his storytelling through court documents, transcripts, interviews, and personal observation. As he tells the story, he brings an eye-opening discovery of the politics and dark side of the medical field and how power play are evident even in this industry.

Since its release, Dr. Harbin’s masterfully-written book has received numerous praises. To name a few, Kirkus Reviews applauds Dr. Harbin’s narrative as “a compelling story of medical tragedy” while “The Prince of Tides” author Pat Conroy says: “‘Waking Up Blind’ is an astonishing book of great courage and an even greater passion for seeking—and telling—the truth.”

Indeed, Dr. Harbin’s compelling narration is a great story worth telling not just to medical practitioners but also to readers of different professions. Soon, “Waking Up Blind” will join the upcoming 2018 Miami International Book Fair. Happening on November 11-18, 2018, this eight-day affair will showcase authors and books of different genres. Therefore, it’s an event that shouldn’t be missed!
