Dr. Dropkick Murphy: A Legendary Life (Book Biopsy with Author, Emily Sweeney)

If you're like me (Dr. Max) and the words "Dropkick Murphy" conjure images of the legendary Boston-based punk rock band, you might be surprised to know the history behind that name.

In this interview, Dr. Max sat down to interview Emily Sweeney, a staff reporter for the Boston Globe and author of a book on Dr. John "Dropkick" Murphy, who was not only a pioneering physician of earlier 20th century alcohol treatment, but was also a professional wrestler of his day.   

This is an amazing book about a man who lived an amazing life.  It's got medical history, professional wrestling and boxing history, punk rock, and many stops in between.  We think you'll enjoy.
