When Danielle Ofri enters the doors of New York's legendary Bellevue Hospital as a tentative medical student, she is immediately plunged into the teeming world of urban medicine: mysterious illnesses, patients speaking any one of a dozen languages, and overworked interns devising audacious strategies to cope with the feverish intensity of a big-city hospital. With each chapter, Ofri introduces us to a new medical crisis and a human being with an intricate and compelling history as she learns to navigate the tangled vulnerabilities of doctor and patient.--Book Jacket.
