The Hand from Behind the Curtain: Essays on Medicine, Fatherhood, Immigration - and Other True Stories

Cancer is never just a diagnosis-it's a deeply human journey. And who better to share its emotional landscape than the oncologist who walks beside patients every step of the way?

In this moving collection of essays, you will meet Mr. Hendricks, who beats cancer but loses to loneliness; Rick, whose unlikely source of comfort is a duck; Donna, who spreads joy even as her time runs out; and Lisa, who survives her illness but struggles with life's uncertainty.

Beyond the clinic, the author weaves in his own experiences-as an immigrant, a divorced single father, and a fellow human navigating life's complexities.

These are stories of hope, grief, courage, and connection-told with compassion, honesty, and insight from someone who has witnessed both the fragility and strength of the human spirit.
