Sholem's Bias: Medicine and Other Curiosities

In the medical world, I'm an internist and primary care doctor at Johns Hopkins. I see patients, do research on decision-making, uncertainty, and patient-doctor communication; I teach with residents; and I write about the complexities of healthcare. In the non-medical world, I write in English and Yiddish, translating as well between both languages. I publish poetry, short stories, and essays/journalism.

    Episode 12: A Bilingual Poet in French and English

    Zackary Sholem Berger talks to Alexander Dickow, a poet, translator, and critic working in both French and English, about navigating countries, languages, and esthetics. With cameo appearances by Dr. Seuss, the Babylonian Talmud, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Here is the text of the poems read by Alexander Dickow on the podcast. To a Politician Your cellophane disguise for a tongue Furiously unbefits the even knavest Of these podium fisted Catilines I hate Whose dim broadcasts encrust With craven abjectives and slick nouns, Whose paramount pronouncements’ Weighty grovel fresh veneers each victim eye, Who gape and crave at limp wealth, Puppets of their own slanted lip And their thin speech as cheap As its callous stakes are ruthless: Our brittle faith, our breath, the truth. Galaxy Measureless and vacant husks Veneer along the pale gaps Kissing the smooth-lit kernels Far across the hesitation Contours Where cycles dip Ebbing forth aromas Of nectar vicinities All gleamed among Their dim stretchings Remote surroundments Hint around lucid cusps And milk-blinkings swerve Over grooved vastnesses Whose lofty gazes Empty to the brim resound Finespun legions Of distant stone pivot Within strange rings And innocent strains Swivel endless and lilt Like hearts wept upon The rings of far-fetched motes Tingling their ancient aubades Galaxie D’incommensurables écorces Enduisent selon les faîtes espacés, Et frémissant le semis d’éclairages, Floue les ourlets tout loin. Arômes qu’émane Un jusant cousus d’oublis, Luisez vos affleurements sourds Et vos proches nectars. Des avant-preuves perlent En glissant partout les orées lucides Où des clins de lait dérapent Pendant des éloignements vastes Dont les grands regards Vides à ras bord résonnent. Des légions respirées En pierre lointaine pivotent Dans des cerclages Et des airs d’innocence Louvoient des vibrements Comme des coeurs pleurés Dessus les anneaux d’improbables noyaux Frissonnant d’antiques aubades.

    Episode 10, Maggie Dubris: a medic-poet cares for the Manhattan poor through crack, AIDS, and 9/11

    Maggie Dubris is a writer and composer in New York. She has published and performed widely. On Sholem's Bias, I talked to her about her new book, Brokedown Palace. I'll let her describe it: "For 24 years, I was a 911 paramedic at St. Clare’s, a small hospital in Hell’s Kitchen. I worked during the dawn of AIDS, the influx of crack, and the most violent years the city has experienced. My hospital had the highest percentage of homeless patients in the city in the 1980s. In 1985 we established the first AIDS unit on the east coast. Broke-Down Palace is the story of the city as seen through the lens of one poor, unsupervised institution. It begins in 1934 with the founding of the hospital by a penniless Irish nun in the depths of the Great Depression, and follows the course of its existence until 2007, when it was shut down, flipped a few times, and turned into luxury condos. The book is structured as a series of linked poems; a memory palace. In addition to exploring the story of the hospital, I am interested in what happens to memories. What becomes a part of history, and what doesn't? If I took part in historical events, e.g. the AIDS plague, the attack on the World Trade Center, can I turn the historical narrative into one that actually reflects my experiences?"
