In A Hospital Without The Luxury Of Private Physicians, Where Patients Lack Resources Both Financial And Societal, Where Poverty And Social Strife Are As Much A Part Of The Pathology As Any Microbe, It Is The Medical Students And Interns Who Are Thrust Into The Searing Intimacy That Is The Doctorpatient Relationship. In Each Memorable Chapter, Ofris Progress Toward Becoming An Experienced Healer Introduces Not Just A Patient In Medical Crisis, But A Human Being With An Intricate And Compelling History. Ofri Learns To Navigate The Tangled Vulnerabilities Of Doctor And Patient, Not Simply Battle The Disease.Dr. Danielle Ofri Is An Attending Physician In The Medical Clinic At Bellevue, With An Academic Appointment At Nyu.
