This book follows an experienced emergency physician who has managed to do something very rare in his field: continue to see the humanity in every patient he encounters. Bellevue Hospital in 1980's Manhattan was one of the first major hospitals to see AIDS patients regularly. These patients were treated well in Dr. Lewis Goldfrank's emergency department, along with the mentally ill, destitute, traumatized, and otherwise maimed patients who came through the door. Every patient has a story worth hearing, and every patient is worth hearing about.
