About Notes From The Edge: The Diary Of Peter J. Morgan
The Diary of Peter Morgan tells the story of a young oncologist, who, on the day he is diagnosed with cancer, begins to keep a journal. Award-winning actor Matthew Broderick becomes the voice of Peter, reading excerpts from Peter's experience as he travels the long road of his treatment. As Peter grapples psychologically with his worsening condition, he develops a new understanding of the patient's plight, and becomes a champion of a powerfully empathic approach to doctoring. This film shows us, with stark, unflinching honesty, the patient's journey through the darkness of critical disease. "What makes this particular story so remarkable are the insights of this young physician and the struggle for survival of a spirit that would not succumb to the 'chaos' of cancer. This is not an easy journey to watch, but the intense sadness of his experience is balanced by his friendships and the great satisfaction he derived from caring for patients until the end. The filmmaker, Ruth Yorkin Drazen, and the narrator, Matthew Broderick, have created a masterpiece." - Bruce Chabner, M.D., Director of Clinical Research, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center Other titles by Ruth Yorkin Drazen include: On the Edge of Being: When Doctors Get Cancer Frankl's Choice A Wayfarer's Journey: Listening to Mahler Healing Through Humanism
