Synopsis

In this special issue produced in conjunction with Pittsburgh's Jewish Healthcare Foundation, writers tackle health care in America, including problems of patient rights and professional responsibility. In "Notes on a Difficult Case," Ruthann Robson details the traumatic results of a dangerous misdiagnosis; in "A Merging of Head and Heart," Judith Dancoff discusses her painful sexual dysfunction—a result of a pituitary tumor; and in "Postpartum," Nancy Linnon reveals her struggles with Postpartum depression.

From the Author:

"The concept of diversity can't be limited to race, religion, and gender. We're all different poeple. We communicate our differences. Sometimes diversity means what you weigh or where you were educated." --Lee Gutkind, Editor of Creative Nonfiction
