Cambridge Forum is pleased to welcome HELENE ATWAN and DANIELLE OFRI for a discussion of Ofri's book What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine.
Beacon Press director Helene Atwan explores the relationship between editor and author with Danielle Ofri, a practicing physician, author, and the editor of the Bellevue Literary Review, the premier literary journal focused on illness, health, and healing.
How does writing change Ofri’s practice of medicine? How does editing the Bellevue Literary Review inform her view of her hospital and her patients? What does publishing a “doctor who writes” add to Beacon Press’s legacy? How has Helene Atwan’s sense of the power of writing changed through her work with Danielle Ofri?
