[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed] My favorite parts were about the history of Bellevue and about the different parts of it. Very amazing. He has had a long interest in international health working in Haiti and Pakistan and in medical anthropology, history, the social sciences and literature particularly of Latin America. Along with his wife Diana Taylor, who is a University Professor at New York University, Eric travels extensively in Latin America and Mexico. He has two children and two grandchildren, both of whom were born at Bellevue. When embarking upon this book, I had seen a BBC2 programme about nursing in Mexico 'The Toughest Place to be a ...

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed] I very much wanted to like "Twelve Patients" by Eric Manheimer, MD but struggled at times to do so. The memoir was ambitious covering everything from prison reform to foster care and Dr. Manheimer's stories moved me. Many patients like Tanisha, the teenager who grew up in foster care, and Soraya, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, left me in awe of the staggering hardships they endured. Arnie's story was particularly important and for the most part well done--it's hard to overstate the perniciousness and pervasiveness of our current opioid crisis. And Jeffrey's struggle with severe mental illness poignantly highlighted the devastating impact such illnesses can have on patients as well as their families. Dr. Manheimer himself reminded me of my dad, who was a doctor's doctor and recently died of cancer. Little details like his daughter inviting him out for dinner at their usual place made me misty-eyed.

Listening to this (audiobook) had to be one of the most miserable experiences of my life. The story, and narration, was so dull and depressing. There was no silver lining (at least up to Chapter 11). The world is f**ked. Everything's f**ked. There's not even a system we can called f**ked. articles published under an open access Creative Common CC BY license, any part of the article may be reused without

In the chapter Beso de Angel, it is about how a dying young Mexican man is returned to the land of his birth. I liked this passage "How people die and how we participate in their deaths is as much about us as about them. Our own humanity is at stake. In a society that is increasingly mesmerized by efficiency, measurement by numbers and a bottom-line neutrality that extols profit and wealth over any other human value, the risk is clear to everyone I work with. When health care is now measured by a 'medical loss ratio', and the percentage of spending on health care is considered a 'loss', then we are really lost."

This isn’t to say Dr. Manheimer doesn’t have a great deal to import, but Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital would have benefited greatly from professional assistance—better editing, even a professional ghostwriter.
