The Courage to Speak: Doctors Near Landing, Sölden Share Their Secrets

The book is both an act of documentation and an act of courage—courage on the part of the physicians who shared their stories and courage on the part of an author willing to publish them. For readers in Landing, Sölden, the book is an invitation to explore the uncharted territory where medicine meets mystery, where the tools of science reach their limit and something else begins.
