As one of my preceptors in clinic, Danielle Ofri handed out poems to the residents (some of whom were bewildered by the unexpected literary gift). It's something I never forgot. I still love reading what she writes, especially about Bellevue Hospital. I trained there as a resident and I talk about it a lot in Chapter 1 of Talking To Your Doctor. 

In a new essay in the Los Angeles Times, Ofri talks about what people think of when they hear the name "Bellevue," and how urban medicine has changed for the better - becoming a reflection of what American healthcare might be in the future.
