Biography [ edit ]
Nuland was born Shepsel Ber Nudelman in The Bronx , New York City, on December 8, 1930, to immigrant parents, Meyer Nudelman (a Moldovan Jewish garment repairman, 1889–1958)[5] [6] a Belarusian Jew , 1893–1941).[5] [7]
Although raised in a traditional Orthodox Jewish home, he came to consider himself agnostic , but continued to attend synagogue .[8] [6]
Nuland was a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science , New York University and Yale School of Medicine , where he obtained his M.D. degree and also completed a residency in surgery .[7]
At the time of his death, he was living in Connecticut with his second wife, Sarah Nuland (née Peterson). He had four children, two from each marriage. His daughter Victoria Nuland , a career foreign service officer , has notably been the current under secretary of State for Political Affairs since May 2021.
Dr. Nuland avowed a "unique relationship" with death. The 1994 National Book Award for nonfiction was granted to his How We Die: Reflections on Life’s Final Chapter .[9]
In a 2001 TED talk, which was released in October 2007, Nuland spoke of his severe depression and obsessive thoughts in the early 1970s, probably caused by his difficult childhood and the dissolution of his first marriage.
As drug therapy remained ineffective, a lobotomy was suggested, but his treating resident suggested electroshock therapy instead, which led to his recovery.[10] [11]
Nuland was also one of the featured lecturers at One Day University .[12]
In 2005, Nuland taught a series of lectures for the Teaching Company's The Great Courses on the history of Western medicine titled Doctors: The History of Scientific Medicine Revealed Through Biography .[13]
Nuland died on March 3, 2014, at his home in Hamden, Connecticut , of prostate cancer .[7]
