𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞: Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital

𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗟𝗘: Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥: Eric Manheimer, MD 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: “The inspiration for the NBC drama New Amsterdam and in the spirit of Oliver Sacks, this intensely involving memoir from a former medical director of a major NYC hospital looks poignantly at patients' lives and reveals the author's own battle with cancer. Dr. Manheimer describes the plights of twelve very different patients--from dignitaries at the nearby UN, to supermax prisoners at Riker's Island, to illegal immigrants, and Wall Street tycoons. Manheimer was not only the medical director of the country's oldest public hospital for over 13 years, but he was also a patient. As the book unfolds, the narrator is diagnosed with cancer, and he is forced to wrestle with the end of his own life even as he struggles to save the lives of others.” 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: in good condition, some wear/colour fading around edges; soft cover.
