 I'm Dr. Harold Mandel, a New York–licensed physician, medical journalist, Amazon-published author, and human rights advocate. My work is now devoted to journalism, advocacy, and storytelling, grounded in Buddhist principles of compassion, mindfulness, and respect for individual autonomy, with a mission to protect truth, dignity, and the creative spirit. Start with my four daily offerings: Daily Rounds, Daily Buddhist Reflections, Space Medicine Daily, and Daily Undersea Medical Reports. 

Daily Rounds distills the latest public-health guidance in short, practical briefings--what the threat is, what the science says, and what you can actually do about it. Read More

 From decompression sickness and saturation diving to hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing and neurologic recovery, undersea medicine is evolving fast.
