et al. Long-Term Follow-Up of 12 Patients Treated with Bilateral Pallidal Stimulation for Tardive Dystonia. Life 2021, 11, 477. The next chapter is devoted to Tanisha, a young woman of tremendous inner strength. A lifelong foster child, she has been raped countless times, repeatedly running away from abusive families. Once, early in her life, she stayed briefly with a family who loved her. When the matriarch died, Tanisha was moved again. Manheimer sets off on a quest to find “Abuela’s” (Spanish for grandmother) extended family in the hopes that they not only recall Tanisha, but are willing to take her in. Incredibly, joyously, they remember her fondly, and despite their limited income, welcome her home.

Certainly he is skilled, generous, and devoted. But we aren’t all writers. This isn’t to say Dr. Manheimer doesn’t have a great deal to import, but Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital would have benefited greatly from professional assistance—better editing, even a professional ghostwriter.

MDPI and/or A story about Arnie, a Wall Street high-flyer who loses everything to drug and alcohol addiction, is less cohesive yet still saddening. While it’s easy to hate a man who grew wealthy off the losses of others, Arnie pays dearly. Even when he manages to clean up, he’s left unemployed, with the fallout of angry ex-wives and deeply troubled adult children. et his story ends on a fragile note; we learn nothing about what happens to him.

I liked what I read even if it was choppy and tossed the reader around quite a bit. Dr. Eric Manheimer, until recently medical director of New York City’s Bellevue Hospital, has added to the genre with Twelve Patients: Life And Death At Bellevue Hospital. Manheimer is the first to proudly explain Bellevue’s history. The US needs to have illegal immigrants, I don't see the euphemism of 'undocumented migrants' as changing the situation, it just sounds better and more sympathetic. If the farms had to pay minimum wage, the price of groceries would have to triple. If there were no illegal service workers, maids, gardeners, mechanics, fast food employees, but Americans wanting proper pay for their work, the cost of living would go up tremendously. So the US only makes a half-assed effort at keeping illegals out or deporting them. But there has to be a middle way.
