Dr. Dropkick Murphy: A Legendary Life (Book Biopsy with Author, Emily Sweeney)
Manage episode 402263272 series 2935879
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.
