Open Heart (2003)
“Melman’s office the first time: I’ve now seen two urologists, both in positions of responsibility at large New York City hospitals, both with significant achievements in research and with extensive clinical experience, and yet, confronted with a problem familiar to urologists, one tells me I have “a mild case,” the other tells me I have “quite a lot of disease”; one tells me I should take no more than 400 units of vitamin E a day, the other tells me to take 2,000 units a day; one prescribes 12,000 milligrams of PABA a day, the other says that PABA is useless and, instead, prescribes a medicine usually used for gout; one runs extensive blood tests, the other runs none; one wants to see me in three months, the other in six weeks… More curious still: even though Dr. Melman has told me I have quite a lot of disease, and though he talks with me about dysfunction, impotence, and pain; injections, surgery, and prostheses—possibilities Dr. Haight never hints at—when I leave Dr.
