Where have all the doctors gone? And why, when I finally see someone, does he or she spend all our time behind the computer instead of examining me? How come my insurance is more and more expensive, and pays for less and less? And why do my medications cost so much? Based on legal cases, patient stories, interviews, hundreds of nonfiction articles and books, and Dr. Sweet's own experience as a physician, Convictions is a fictionalized account of what is really going on in healthcare behind the scenes. Listen to it.

A gifted multi-sport athlete and a devout Roman Catholic, Derek Ruth was barely one month shy of his thirteenth birthday when he suffered a traumatic brain injury on the football field. As his family, friends, and even competitors gathered, they prepared for the worst while praying for a miracle, as Derek was on an eight-minute life-flight to the hospital where the heroic doctors would work to save his life. But while everyone waited for news, Derek was spending extended time with Jesus in heaven, who offered him a choice.
