What makes the oldest hospital in the United States unique is that Bellevue is a place from which no one in need is turned away.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBellevue Diary\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of short stories borne out of Dr. Monif 's year of internship that collectively pays tribute to this great hospital.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Bellevue Diary\u003c\/i\u003e is mosaic of short snippets of stories. Mosaics have to be near perfect to work. Ironically, this one comes close. What is surprising that it works on multiple levels: a historical characterization of a place and time and the impact of the Bellevue Hospital on a young physician's professional and spiritual growth into which is woven a thesis of death's ultimate meaning. The pieces all come together to make this mosaic good reading.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -Peter Firchow, PhD\u003cbr\u003e Former Professor of English - University of Minnesota\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilles Monif\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462008453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462008452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Gilles Monif","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444968698111,"sku":"9781462008452","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f4f3478-6482-43ee-a442-a2e3c02ab740.jpg?v=1777215754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bellevue-diary-gilles-monif-9781462008452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
