Sholem’s Bias: Medicine and Other Curiosities

Sholem’s Bias: Medicine and Other Curiosities

by

In the medical world, I’m an internist and primary care doctor at Johns Hopkins. I see patients, do research on decision-making, uncertainty, and patient-doctor communication; I teach with residents; and I write about the complexities of healthcare. In the non-medical world, I write in English and Yiddish, translating as well between both languages. I publish poetry, short stories, and essays/journalism.
