The Doctors’ Lounge series invites you to share an evening with physician author Dr. Danielle Ofri as we explore the topic of her latest of book, When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error.
If the evening goes well, we will have the opportunity to reflect on all of the subjects that she has covered in her eight books, as well as her participation in the documentary Why Doctors Write .
Dr. Ofri, MD, PhD, is one of the foremost voices in the medical world today, shining an unflinching light on the realities of healthcare, and speaking passionately about the doctor-patient relationship. She writes about medicine and the doctor-patient connection. Her writing appears regularly in the New York Times, as well as in the New Yorker, Slate Magazine, the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, and other publications. She is a founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Bellevue Literary Review, the first literary journal to arise from a medical setting. Her essays have been selected by Stephen Jay Gould, Oliver Sacks, and Susan Orlean for Best American Essays (twice) and Best American Science Writing. She has received the McGovern Award from the American Medical Writers Association for “preeminent contributions to medical communication.” She is also the recipient of the 2020 National Humanism in Medicine Medal from the Gold Foundation. She strives for a serene, uncluttered life of Zen, but has teenagers instead.
Please join us as we continue our long-standing tradition of celebrating March and the beginning of spring with the power of story.
