"Medicine in Translation: Journeys with My Patients" by Danielle Ofri

For two decades, Dr. Danielle Ofri has cared for patients at Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in the country and a crossroads for the world’s cultures. In "Medicine in Translation", she introduces us, in vivid, moving portraits, to the patients she has known. They have braved language barriers, religious and racial divides, and the emotional and practical difficulties of exile in order to access quality health care. Sharing their journeys with them over the years, Danielle has witnessed some of their best and worst moments, and come to admire their resilience and courageous spirit.

Led by Dr. Gordon Crelinsten, Cardiologist, MUHC, RVH
With the special participation of the author, Dr. Danielle Ofri.

McGill Bookstore will have copies of the book available at a 10% discount.
