Overview

Let's See What the day Brings is a auto- biographical novel about a driven otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon who experienced loss of his parents as a youth growing up in the Bronx. This led him in part, to focus on academics rather than emotion as he began a successful career. However, in adulthood, following the sudden death of his older brother and fighting his own heart disease, he changed his life to better grow as a person and more holistically serve his patients dealing with stress management, mid facial pain and TMJ problems... As a result, he lost his wife, his reputation and his livelihood while fighting false accusations and legal issues. This novel takes the reader behind the scenes of this high powered surgeon's difficult professional and personal life to understand the stresses and pressures that can make some men break. While he never broke, he cracked. But he sought answers and, Phoenix-like, rose from the ashes of what could have been his early demise, to help others lead better lives. In the process he became a better person and puts the demons of his childhood to rest so that he could get on with his life and eventually get the personal happiness that had eluded him for so many years. This book's version, in addition to my other book Sundays with the Watchmaker's Son are the first ones that deal with these issues since the book A Taste of My Own Medicine by Dr. Edward Rosenbaum and later made into the movie The Doctor . In both of my books, I am an ENT Surgeon with a severe cardiac problem and in his book, he is a cardiologist with a severe ENT problem. In many ways I believe that my story is even more powerful dealing with both very serious medical and legal issues. These two versions are very different presentations of the same basic story, with very different styles of writing and edited by different well known authors as noted on the title pages.
