Renowned physician Dr. Brian Goldman coming to Saugeen Shores.
Goldman is one of those rare individuals with great success in not one but several adrenaline-pumping careers. He is a highly regarded emergency physician, host of CBC’s award-winning radio show “White Coat, Black Art” and host of the CBC podcast “The Dose” on current events in healthcare.
His inspiring yet bracingly honest TEDx talk about medical errors—which has been viewed on online almost one million times—has cemented his reputation as one of his generation’s keenest observers of the culture of modern medicine.
A bestselling author of the book The Night Shift: Real Life in the ER, Dr. Goldman takes readers through giddying heights and crashing lows as he works through a typical night shift in one of Canada’s busiest ERs.
His second book The Secret Language of Doctors is a biting look at medical slang, and what it reveals of what the doctor really thinks about your mother’s obesity, your grandfather’s dementia or her colleague’s competence.
And, he’s not afraid to take a hard look at himself. In his book – The Power of Kindness: Why Empathy is Essential in Everyday Life – Goldman searches for his own capacity for caring around the world, through his own brain circuitry and inside his heart.
