Title
Gold’s Rounds: Medicine, McGill, and Growing Up Jewish in Montreal
Abstract
The Montreal-born Dr. Phil Gold (b. 1936) is a graduate of McGill University (BSc degree in 1957, a MSc degree in 1961, a MD degree in 1961, and a PhD in 1965) and Douglas G. Cameron Professor of Medicine, and Professor of Physiology and Oncology, at McGill University. He was Chairman of the Department of Medicine at McGill and Physician-in-Chief at the Montreal General Hospital. The publisher describes this autobiography as Gold recounting "the sights and sounds of a bygone era - horse-drawn milk carts, Yiddish neighbourhoods full of Holocaust survivors, furniture chopped up to keep the home fires burning, sacks of grain lugged off ships in the harbour, antisemitism and ethnic street-fighting, the padlocked doors of the Red Scare, his father’s first car," as well as "six decades of treating patients at the General, scenes from the founding of the famous Goodman Cancer Institute, and reflections on the physician's role and the meaning of a good death."
