In My Son, the Doctor: The Trials and Tribulations of a Modern-Day Jewish Physician, Dr. Block takes readers on an intimate journey through his life as a contemporary Jewish doctor navigating the complexities of medicine, culture, and personal identity. Balancing his heritage's deep-rooted expectations with the relentless demands of modern healthcare, Dr. Block shares poignant anecdotes, sharp humor, and raw honesty. From the pressures of medical school to the ethical dilemmas of patient care and the joys and challenges of family life, the memoir illuminates how tradition, resilience, and a love of healing shape his journey. This heartfelt narrative offers a window into the soul of a Jewish physician striving to uphold his values in an ever-changing world.
“I feared this was to be another chronicle of "My (Jewish) life and hard times". Not so. This book should be required reading for aspiring physicians and other professionals as well. It is a memoir cum textbook. Certainly, this man and his loving family are nowhere near the end of a remarkable journey.”
