"The characters and details that spring to life with honesty and vulnerability. It's a must-read for those wondering if their physician has a conscience."—David Magee, bestselling author of Dear William: A Father's Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Love and Loss In the high-stakes world of organ transplantation, Dr. Joe Bosco is a brilliant but arrogant surgeon whose relentless ambition drives him to the top—at any cost. For Joe, saving lives is more than just a job; it's his religion and it eclipses everything else. After completing his surgical residency, he turns down a prestigious position at Stanford for a lucrative role at a private hospital in San Francisco, where profits often outweigh patient care. This choice strains his relationship with his devoted girlfriend, Kate, and disappoints his father, a Holocaust survivor and esteemed neuroscientist. As Joe rises to fame, he becomes increasingly entangled in a web of moral dilemmas and ethical breaches, confronting not only the dark side of the medical industry but also his own character flaws. When a catastrophic mistake in the operating room leads to devastating consequences, Joe finds himself ostracized, with a crumbling career and strained relationships. Left alone to grapple with his failures, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the most unexpected places, learning that true fulfillment comes not from accolades or wealth, but from genuine connection and purpose. All That Really Matters is a gripping tale that blends the intensity of medical drama with the heartwarming elements of romance, exploring the complexities of ambition, identity, and the human spirit.
