BiographyIn addition to writing, I'm an emergency physician and direct the ethics curriculum at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University. Fourteen Stories: Doctors, Patients, and Other Strangers, (Kent State University Press, 2007) is my first book of fiction. I majored in English at Union College in Schenectady, NY, received my medical degree from SUNY at Stony Brook School of Medicine and completed the medical ethics fellowship at Harvard Medical School, the Division of Social Medicine. I share a house in Rhode Island with my wife and son, two dogs with complex personalities, and an incredibly cool red-footed tortoise called "The Dude." This website, like me, is imperfect and a work-in-progress. |
