Dr. Tom Harbin has been practicing ophthalmology with a specialty in glaucoma in Atlanta for more than 30 years and is a Clinical Professor Emeritus at Emory University. His new book, *Waking Up Blind: Lawsuits Over Eye Surgery*, is an eye-opening (pun intended) look at a highly respected surgeon’s terrible mistake and how it was covered up by the leadership of a major academic medical center: Emory University. Through the use of court documents, transcripts of tape-recorded conversations, interviews and personal observations, Dr. Harbin examines the case in detail, uncovering all levels of wrongdoing and secrecy that will surprise you.
