Il Dottore: The Double Life of a Mafia Doctor

The inspiration for Fox TV's drama series, "Mob Doctor," Il Dottore is the riveting true story of a Jewish kid from the Bronx who became a Mafia insider and physician to top NY Mafia dons such as John Gotti, Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, and Joe Bonanno. As a result, the doctor led a double life but still managed to pursue his true profession seriously enough to became one of the nation's leading cardiac surgeons. Eventually, he had to make a choice between loyalty to the mob and remaining true to his Hippocratic Oath, all under the watchful eye of New York's top federal prosecutor, Rudolph Giuliani.
