Healing The Patient, And A City - Featuring US Army Colonel David King and David "Big Papi" Ortiz

Episode Summary

Colonel David King, Trauma Surgeon at MGH and Red Sox Legend David Ortiz are intimately connected – Doctor - Patient, Ironman - Power Hitter, Hero and Hero. They have both given their service to this country in their own separate and unique way, with an interwoven healing of themselves and a community. At Home Base, we are always grateful for the MGH-Red Sox synergy, and having David and David here to represent these parent organizations brings it all home. Join us for a conversation with two Davids, about two periods of time, two types of trauma, and the ability to heal a city and ourselves.
