In the spirit of Oliver Sacks and the inspiration for the NBC drama New Amsterdam, this memoir from a Medical Director of Bellevue Hospital looks poignantly at patients' lives, highlighting the complex mind-body connection.

"As intensely involving as any scripted for a television medical drama." —The New York Daily News

Twelve Patients shows 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 is not only the medical director of the country's oldest public hospital—he is also a patient. As the book unfolds, the narrator is diagnosed with cancer and is forced to wrestle with the end of his own life even as he struggles to save the lives of others.

"This book is not only brilliant, it is deeply moving, and as socially and politically important as anything I have read over the past ten years." —James F. Gilligan, psychiatrist and author Monde médical Médecine et secteur de la santé Professionnels et universitaires Médecine Santé Soins de santé Célébrité Santé mentale Toxicomanie

I hope he is writing another book. This book is fabulous. Deep, rich and a beautiful recounting of a physician’s wonderful life at Bellevue. I loved the audible experience. Thank you, Eric.

Deep, rich, beautiful.

I chose this book because I started watching New Amsterdam (what a GREAT TV show!) and realized it was based on Dr. Manheimer's experiences at Bellevue.

Great stories... you get to follow him in his career as the Medical Director there, of a hospital that amounts to a small city, and while he goes through throat cancer as well. He's a really good writer (he comments along the lines that the trauma backboards were lined up outside emerg like surfboards in California...) and his speaking voice is very soothing.

Although it was a long read (11 hours, people!) I listened to it quite comfortably at 1.2 speed while out on my walks during this pandemic time, and really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed this
