Dr. Drew lives in my hometown and I've always had a bit of a crush on him. I remember listening to him on the radio as a 13 year old girl and he's always stuck out in my mind as kind of "the perfect man". He's got it all: looks, intelligence, skill as a doctor, and a sense of compassion for people in pain. Dr. Drew not only explores drug and alcohol addiction in his patients but also how he deals with his own feeling as a "rescuer" type. He reveals a lot about himself and his honesty is really disarming and refreshing. Anyone who works in a helping capacity (social workers, doctors, nurses, etc.) will relate to Dr. Drew's struggle to accept his limitations as a healer. Anyone who is dealing with addiction or knows someone who is will find his insights on how and why people become addicted to be illuminating.
