Book Review of Weekends at Bellevue

Weekends at Bellevue
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


While I enjoyed the book, it also wasn't what I expected. Like someone else stated, I thought the book would be about Dr. Holland treating her patients and their stories. Mostly it's Dr. Holland's memoir of her time at Bellevue and the patients are bit players. She tells about her becoming a doctor and working at Bellevue and her therapy and marriage and kids but the patient stories never fully develop and there is certainly very little follow-up. The book was ok but I'd have enjoyed it much more if it was more about the patients and less about the doctor.
