About the Author

Bernard Leo Remakus, M.D. is a native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He received his B.S. degree from King's College, M.Ed. degree from East Stroudsburg State College, and M.D. degree from the Temple University School of Medicine. He completed a three-year residency in Internal Medicine at Abington Memorial Hospital, which led to his certification as a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Remakus has practiced internal medicine in a rural, physician-shortage area of Northeastern Pennsylvania for 40 years. During that time, he has published five novels - The Paraclete, Keystone, Cassidy's Solution, Mia, and The Lame Duck; three works of non-fiction - The Malpractice Epidemic: A Layman's Guide To Medical Malpractice, Medicine From The Heart and Medicine Between The Lines; and one screenplay, Mia. He has also authored contributed more than 200 articles to the medical literature. From 1991 to 2002, Dr. Remakus was the featured columnist and a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the medical publication, Internal Medicine World Report. His column in that publication was one of the most widely-read and longest-running physician-written columns in America.

Dr. Remakus is a professional speaker and has previously served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Health Science Center of the State University of New York and Temple University School of Medicine. He has also performed clinical drug research, worked as a medical examiner and consultant, and coached his local high school baseball team to a league championship and four post-season district playoff appearances in six seasons.

The recipient of numerous awards and citations, Dr. Remakus received the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. He is listed in multiple "Who's Who" publications, including "Who's Who in America," "Who's Who in The World," "Who's Who In The East," "Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare," "Who's Who in Science and Engineering," and "Who's Who in American Education."

Dr. Remakus and his wife, Charlotte, have been married for 46 years, and their three children, Chris, Ali and Matt, are all physicians. Their son-in-law, Mark, is also a physician, and their daughter-in-law, Sanda, is a Ph.D. in medical microbiology. They have four grandchildren, Jake, Betsy, Anabelle, and Charlie.
