Inner Fire: Your Will to Live
Stories of Courage, Hope, and Determination
Ernest H. Rosenbaum, MD and Isadora R. Rosenbaum, MA

The will to live is in both your heart and your mind.

To those who have dedicated their lives to relieving human suffering, including the dedicated, skilled, and highly proficient physicians, nurses, and staff at the UCSF/Mount Zion Intensive Care Unit, who saved my life in the summer of 1995.

And to the contributors to this book, who exemplify the Will To Live
