Dr. Brian Goldman

Dr. Brian Goldman is an emergency room physician who has worked at Mount Sinai Hospital in downtown Toronto for more than twenty years. He is also a prominent medical journalist and the host of CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Goldman specializes in kicking open the doors to the medical establishment, revealing what really goes on behind the scenes – and in the minds of doctors and nurses. In Dr. Goldman's first book, The Night Shift, published in 2010, he shares his experiences of working through the witching hours at Mount Sinai, as well as at the other hospitals where he has spent his long career. Written with Goldman's trademark honesty and with surprising humour, The Night Shift is also a frank look at many of the issues facing the medical profession today and a highly compelling view into an often shrouded world -- including how and why health professionals with their much vaunted medical ethics routinely make errors that cost patients their health and sometimes their lives.
