In a twist of events, the medical director of Bellevue hospital gets diagnosed with throat cancer. He tellshis story as a patient, as well as the stories of many patients he has treated along the way, in the
memoir Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital. Through these stories, he discusses the
meaning of life and death, immigration, obesity, suicide, and health care, helping his story relate to every reader. This book has been recommended to me by both my mother and my sister. After starting it over the summer but never getting far, it would be a perfect book to finish as an IRB.
