Fortunately, in addition to being a dedicated physician, Dr. Manheimer is also a writer. He drew me into his world immediately, with startling detail and allusions that widen the scope of the book. He uses the stories of the twelve patients he discusses as a springboard to demonstrate the demands placed on our country's healthcare system. In the process he highlights many of our societal problems, from obesity to drug addiction. I put my hand on Guerra’s shoulder and assure him we’re working on the release. Guerra just shrugs. “I was an idiot to hope. What a pendejo!” He looks old. In prison, everyone looks ten to twenty-five years older than they are, except the teenagers. TWELVE PATIENTS is a memoir from the Medical Director of Bellevue Hospital that uses the plights of twelve very different patients to illustrate larger societal issues.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed] The general population of Rikers consists of short-stay prisoners awaiting trial or sentencing, or prisoners sentenced for under a year. Longer terms are served in more than sixty upstate prisons holding more than fifty thousand prisoners, most of them from New York City. The state legislature in Albany has lobbied hard to bring prisons to the poorer rural communities in the northern reaches of the state, providing economic benefits to dying industrial communities. The fact that prisoners are separated from their loved ones and the fragile human ecosystem that sustains them when they finish their time is an “externality,” an unfortunate side effect. It’s an economic and social cost that is not factored into the “benefits” of rural development and keeping society safe thanks to the mass incarceration model. The rotating prison door of re-incarceration is good for certain businesses.
In providing medical care for these people who have already suffered so much, Manheimer also battles with the constraints of the US health care system. He shows how treatment regimes can sometimes confuse diagnoses and disguise underlying problems - he clearly favours a more hands-off and holistic approach to patient care - but his critique of the overall system is more subtle than one might expect.

Can’t do it. The author desperately needs an editor; his writing is full of snags, like a nail that needs filing. Time shifts are all over the place without adequate transitions, and the tangents! So. Many. Needless. Tangents. et al. Long-Term Follow-Up of 12 Patients Treated with Bilateral Pallidal Stimulation for Tardive Dystonia. Life. 2021; 11(6):477.Although the Author is based in Bellevue in New York City, like that BBC2 programme this book was a real eye opener. In the space of one book he takes us beyond the walls of a busy hospital and shows us modern day America in terms of what you sow, so shall you reap! While infamous for its mental hospital, Bellevue has long been more than a mental care facility. From its beginnings in 1763, Bellevue is the longest-running hospital in the United States. Its services are extensive, its facilities state-of-the-art. Manheimer is justifiably proud to work there.
Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric
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. Kiriakakis, V.; Bhatia, K.P.; Quinn, N.P.; Marsden, C.D. The natural history of tardive dystonia.

After I make it to the floor, Budd takes me to Guerra. He looks gray. If anything, he has aged since this morning. He looks up at me, weary, and looks down at his shoes again, bent over as he is with his shoulders on his knees. His wife and son look alarmed. By publishing your document, the content will be optimally indexed by Google via AI and sorted into the right category for over 500 million ePaper readers on YUMPU.Only kept reading because the patients were so interesting, both as illustrations of the kinds of cases that come to Bellevue, and as a lens through which to examine current topics in medicine today. I even liked the author's personal cancer story. For years, I had been at the tail end of discussions about compassionate release for terminal prisoners, those who were so ravaged by disease that they posed no threat to society regardless of their crime. Guerra, who had never committed a violent felony and was struggling against a life-threatening disease, was a good candidate for release. Dr. Manheimer writes a book encompassing his long career as the medical director working at Bellevue Hospital in NYC. Each chapter is devoted to one patient and their story. Dr. Manheimer also becomes a patient when he is diagnosed with throat cancer and describes the treatment plan he goes through and the long, difficult road to recovery. His illness makes him a very empathetic doctor, as he knows what it is like to suffer, just like his patients. He is also very soft-hearted and finds a special place in his heart to help several immigrants (including undocumented) obtain the care he feels they deserve. He develops long-term friendships with patients and guides them along their journey whenever possible.

Using 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—Dr. Eric Manheimer "offers far more than remarkable medical dramas: he blends each patient's personal experiences with their social implications" ( Publishers Weekly).

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.
