Hotel Doctor

Stanley P. Silverblatt  ’53 (Dorrance Publishing Co.)
In this autobiographical account, the author recounts his experiences moving from his practice in Pennsylvania to becoming a hotel doctor in Florida. Silverblatt never imagined he would become a hotel doctor in Florida, and even thought Southern hotel doctors to be “incompetent boobs and rejects from the North.” But his attitude changes when he becomes the hotel doctor of the Diplomat Hotel in Florida. He shares his many experiences, including rubbing elbows with famous actors, entertainers, sports figures, and comedians. Silverblatt has practiced internal medicine for more than 40 years. He relocated to south Florida in 1973 and became a resident physician at the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood.
