About this episode

Dr. Tim Garson graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University, but chose not to join the family's brassiere manufacturing business. Instead, he became a pediatric cardiologist at Texas Children's Hospital. He has since authored ten books, including his latest, "Five Thousand Years of Controversies" – a book he wished he had read years ago. From pediatric cardiologist to health policy advocate and historian, Arthur "Tim" Garson has spent a lifetime asking questions – and searching for what lies behind them.
