A very special book

Do not read Doctor of the Heart if you expect to go to sleep before the end. It is just not possible. Not only does this book reveal true-life medical events and solutions, but they are intertwined with humor and mystery book-like situations that continue on, making it impossible to tear yourself away. Besides all this, it is a Horatio Alger rags-to-riches story as grand as any. I have known Isadore Rosenfeld for nearly 40 years, and the brilliance of this book is not surprising. He is a unique individual and recognized in the medical profession as one of the more brilliant doctors in the world. The book demonstrates why. David N.(Jim) Judelson

A heartwarming read!

Dr. Isadore's book is a wonderful look inside the life of a dedicated physician. I watch him every Sunday morning on Fox News. His book describes his reasons for becoming a doctor and all that he's learned along the way...much of which came from patients he's treated. I enjoyed the book for it's heartfelt sharing of the ups and downs, tears and joy that this compassionate doctor has experienced in his profession for so many years. I think this book should be required reading for every person in medical school! I have recommended it to many friends and relatives...may even give a copy to my doctor!

wonderfully written and fascinating insights into his career in medicine

Doctor of the Heart is a compelling account of a phenomenal career in medicine. The book combines both personal recollections of Dr Rosenfeld's career that took him all over the world whenever and wherever his patients need him. And while these are very important and distinguished patients, it is evident that this is the kind of care Dr. Rosenfeld would give to any patient. Why has medicine changed so drastically? I especially enjoyed the chapter about his care of Onassis and another about when he was totally determined to solve the medical problem for one of his patients that other doctors had given up on. Other doctors: Are your listening???? As I read this book I learned and I laughed, and I hope there will be a sequel. Great holiday gift.
