    About this ebook

    This is an unusual and fascinating story of a young foreign medical school graduate who is beginning his four years of specialty training during the 1960s in a large County Hospital.
    OVER HERE picks up where Bobs first book, OVER THERE leaves off, which with humor, poignancy, and spectacular photography, colorfully described his fascinating six years of medical school in Switzerland.
    This new book follows Bob through his entire medical career which includes many aspects of his personal life, family illness, his successes and his personal failures.
    The reader will get a very unique insight into the mind of a young practicing physician as he confronts the many challenges of an evolving medical delivery system as well as those of his personal and professional life.
    You will read about the emergency ambulance rides he was required to make during his internship as well as some of the more interesting emergency room cases he treated and how he eventually founded and ran a very successful group practice. Be intrigued when you read about Bobs very unique and extraordinary interests outside his practice of medicine.
    Dr. Schoenfeld is married and has three children and four grandchildren. He maintains a strong interest in photography, both traditional and creative and has had two successful photographic exhibits in one of New Yorks most prestigious art galleries, the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park.

    Robert Schoenfeld

    After some 40 years of active medical practice and now as a semi-retired physician, I find myself with more leisure time to pursue some of my avocations. I still practice medicine but only on a limited basis, for if you like what you do, its really hard to let go. One of my hobbies is photography, which I continued throughout my active medical career. The other is writing, because I have some very unusual stories to tell. My upbringing was also quite unique. I grew up in the shadow of a father, who was a famous pro basketball player in the 1920s and 1930s. He was recently inducted into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame. My dad, Sam Schoenfeld, was also a high school teacher, coach, collegiate basketball referee and founder of the Collegiate Basketball Officials Association. In addition, he was also an owner-director of a very successful sleep away camp, called Camp Deerhead. I was fortunate to be able to spend all my early summers at that wondrous place. I grew up under that giant of a man and that was a hard act to follow. I felt I could never fit into his shoes. (See "Play It Again Sam" tab at left for Info on Sam's new Documentary Movie) In my early years, I attended Jamaica High School, in Queens, New York and graduated from Columbia College in New York City. I was not well traveled, since the extent of my excursions were only to the Poconos to attend Deerhead, and an occasional trip to Florida. I mention this very limited travel experience because I ended up attending a medical school in Switzerland. Thats where my adventure to Over There takes place. I subsequently founded and ran a successful internal medicine group practice on Long Island, N.Y. for the past forty years. In addition I was the medical director of The Woodbury Center for Health Care. I am presently the medical director of the White Oaks Nursing Home, a two hundred bed facility, also in Woodbury, Long Island. Both are among the best if not the finest such facilities on Long Island. During the early part of my professional career, I was also employed by Nassau County, as a medical consultant in internal medicine at the county's nine hundred bed geriatric facility. With all this, I was still able to pursue my interest in photography. During the latter part of the 1990s, I was fortunate enough to have had two photographic exhibits at one of New York Citys most prestigious art galleries, The National Arts Club, at Gramercy Park. So I, like my dad also had a rather unusual, but of course, a very different history.
