I learned so much reading this book (not so much about medical issues, as I have experience working in medicine myself); but mostly about the difficult lives many immigrants live, and the hardships they endured in their home countries before making the leap to immigrate to the United States.

Although I share Manheimer’s views, I found Twelve Patients uneven reading. Manheimer is an excellent physician who genuinely cares not only for his patients, but for his staff, as well. His respect for everyone, from nurses to hospital cleaning personnel, is evident and welcome. But the self-congratulatory ego sneaking into the proceedings is not.
