Dr. Cohen is a pediatric neurosurgeon with more than four decades of experience treating critically ill children at institutions including Boston Children’s Hospital and Johns Hopkins. In his new memoir, Comfort Always: Healing in the Age of Technology he opens up about one of the least discussed realities in medicine: the emotional weight physicians carry when delivering life-and-death diagnoses to children and their families.
Through deeply human stories from the operating room, Dr. Cohen explores what it means to guide families through fear, grief, uncertainty, and hope and how compassion and emotional presence often become just as important as medical expertise itself.
