Book Description
This autobiography describes my early life in England during which time I wore a badge of honor by deliberately performing poorly in school. Upon my arrival in America, I transformed myself, achieving academic success first in nursing school, and ultimately becoming a medical doctor. I have included memorable patient vignettes ranging from admirable and brave patients with challenging illnesses, and examples of humorous or bizarre patient encounters. Throughout my career, I have been a 'doctor under fire'. An example in this book describes the turmoil I experienced when my employer, a well known health system in Philadelphia, declined to renew my contract due to 'business reasons'. I decided to open an independent solo practice and I was honored because over 98% of the patients chose to follow me to my new office rather than remain with the prestigious health system. This subsequently becomes a 'David and Goliath story' after the deep pocketed health system sued me in court accusing me of soliciting patients. I punched back by counter-suing the health system because I felt strongly that, contrary to the belief of the health systems, patients are not property that is owned by them. Rather, a patient's right to choose their own doctor must always be respected.
Doctors from Hell

Pages : 354
Book Description
A chilling story of human depravity and ultimate justice, told for the first time by an eyewitness court reporter for the Nuremberg war crimes trial of Nazi doctors. This is the account of 22 men and 1 woman and the torturing and killing by experiment they authorized in the name of scientific research and patriotism. Doctors from Hell includes trial transcripts that have not been easily available to the general public and previously unpublished photographs used as evidence in the trial. The author describes the experience of being in bombed-out, dangerous, post-war Nuremberg, where she lived for two years while working on the trial. Once a Nazi sympathizer tossed bombs into the dining room of the hotel where she lived moments before she arrived for dinner. She takes us into the courtroom to hear the dramatic testimony and see the reactions of the defendants to the proceedings. This landmark trial resulted in the establishment of the Nuremberg code, which set the guidelines for medical research involving human beings. A significant addition to the literature on World War II and the Holocaust, medical ethics, human rights, and the barbaric depths to which human beings can descend.
