CURRICULUM
VITAE
My early medical work was in three
broad categories: research, teaching and caring
for patients. With time and increasing clinical
responsibilities I left the laboratories where I
had once hoped to discover ways to extend the life
expectancy of patients suffering from that most
malignant of brain tumors, the glioblastoma
multiforme. This work was done in the laboratories
of The Massachusetts General Hospital and The
Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. After I left the
laboratory I concentrated on patient care and
teaching responsibilities, sharing my work with
students, interns, residents and colleagues in
general medicine and neurosurgery.
WARFARE
One year, eleven months and twenty-eight days had a
lasting effect.
LETTERS
AFTER LOOK
A sampling of letters sent me after the 1970 LOOK
publication
MY
PATIENTS
The stories of my patients and their maladies
I've included under the title of "My Patients and
Our Shared Odyssey." I've tried to describe
these medical and neurosurgical topics in words
and terms readily accessible to the general
reader.
LETTERS
FROM PATIENTS
For a quarter century I studied, practiced and
taught medicine, more specifically neurosurgery.
Who I am, what I did and how I did it are perhaps
best described by those for whom I cared and by
those near and dear to them. For that reason I
have recorded snippets of my professional life
from letters sent by patients and their loved
ones. Dates and addresses have been redacted. I
have changed given names and replaced surnames
with single letters. This correspondence is
otherwise unedited and any idiosyncrasies of
spelling or grammar are unchanged.
