A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP TEN NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEARA LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK SELECTION • A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE BOOK SELECTIONOne doctor's passionate and profound memoir of his experience grappling with race, bias, and the unique health problems of black AmericansWhen Damon Tweedy begins medical school,he envisions a bright future where his segregated, working-class background will become largely irrelevant. Instead, he finds that he has joined a new world where race is front and center. The recipient of a scholarship designed to increase black student enrollment, Tweedy soon meets a professor who bluntly questions whether he belongs in medical school, a moment that crystallizes the challenges he will face throughout his career. Making matters worse, in lecture after lecture the common refrain for numerous diseases resounds, "More common in blacks than in whites."Black Man in a White Coat examines the complex ways in which both black doctors and patients must navigate the difficult and often contradictory terrain of race and medicine. As Tweedy transforms from student to practicing physician, he discovers how often race influences his encounters with patients. Through their stories, he illustrates the complex social, cultural, and economic factors at the root of many health problems in the black community. These issues take on greater meaning when Tweedy is himself diagnosed with a chronic disease far more common among black people. In this powerful, moving, and deeply empathic book, Tweedy explores the challenges confronting black doctors, and the disproportionate health burdens faced by black patients, ultimately seeking a way forward to better treatment and more compassionate care.

I am thoroughly enjoying Dr. Tweedy's memoir. He and I have shared many experiences, me 50 years before and protected by a hide of a different hue.Tweedy puts the personal touch on a number of issues of intense concern to all of us today: income inequality, our third-world healthcare system (yes, with 40 million uninsured we are no better than a banana republic!), the racist leitmotif that pervades current practices. There is no other explanation for the results we see in our outcomes when they are laid out by race.Through his heartfelt examples, Dr. Tweedy reemphasizes that we still fall short of our founders' aspirations even though we have the riches and wherewithal to provide everyone with quality, affordable healthcare. A system that results in inferior care for the poor (too often a surrogate for skin color) fails to meet the ideals we have set for our nation and weakens us all.Cry, my beloved country! I see little progress - even serious backsliding - since I graduated from medical school 55 years ago. President Obama often said, "We are better than this!" I once thought so, but I no longer am so certain.
