Dr. Thomas Amidon performs surgery at Kalispell Regional Medical Center. Amidon recently completed writing a book, "The Sublime Engine" with his brother Stephen. "I consider this my brother's book that I helped him with," Amidon said. "If you're reading about Shakespeare and Poe — that's him. If you're reading about plaque in the arteries, robotic surgery — I probably wrote that."
