Engleman, age 102, takes a look backward at his very long life, one in which music and medicine intertwined at every step. He never became the celebrated violinist his mother wished for, but instead became America s preeminent rheumatologist and someone in whose honor two Stradivari violins are named. He continues living with astonishing vitality: Seeing patients, playing chamber music, putting on amateur musical productions, comparing violins with Itzhak Perlman, and directing the Rosalind Russell-Ephraim P. Engleman Medical Research Center for Arthritis at UC San Francisco, which is the beneficiary of all of the author s proceeds from the sale of this book., Self, 2013-04, 5, London England: Granada.
