A Physician's Personal Triumph Over Advanced Melanoma

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Nicholas Steiner is a Park Avenue internist in his mid-forties. He has a successful medical practice, a stable marriage with a home in the suburbs and enjoys good health. But when he develops melanoma, a potentially fatal type of cancer, everything changes. With a worsening prognosis his marriage dissolves and he is unable to work. As time runs out, the combined efforts of two unlikely individuals ~ an expert in Chinese herbs and a highly unusual younger woman ~ play critical roles in his survival. Many of the narrative's turbulent and surprising developments are unforeseen consequences of decisions and events from earlier in life. The author concludes that the cancer that almost killed him "was the best thing that could have happened to me."

Autorenporträt

The author is a Board Certified internist who practiced in New York City until 1984 when illness necessitated early retirement. An earlier memoir "UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES: A Physician's Personal Triumph over Advanced Melanoma" (Xlibris) relates how cancer affected his professional and personal lives, and the key role played by Traditional Chinese Medicine (herbs) in his "miraculous" recovery. In between writing these memoirs Steiner compiled a narrative based on his (German) grandparents and parents' lives before, during and after WW II. An avid photographer since age 15, he has published many books of his pictures.
